That is a side of things that I hadn't considered. Thanks for pointing it out.
Interesting, the company that I work for would basically send me to any training I would like to take (within reason, of course), but I rarely take advantage of it, preferring to just get a book and learn on my own. But me, I'm just a geek and if I help anyone out it's person to person. At the level I'm at I don't even consider the politics of the situation. I'm glad, too. > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Arthur T. > Sent: 8. syyskuuta 2007 19:42 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: The future of IBM Mainframes [just thinking] > > > I have nothing against newbies who want to learn.
