Ok, so ISU's statement isn't total balderdash, since they are the
only Illinois public university with a z/Architecture machine, just
very, very galling. :(
Mark, the statement I quoted, "With the addition, ISU becomes the
only public university in the state to offer its technology students
both an undergraduate program in enterprise computing and hands-on
access to such an IBM mainframe" said nothing about
z/Architecture. It was the "enterprise computing" phrase that was so annoying.
