Not really. Last week in one of the Hercules groups someone mentioned his friend developing a personal finance application on z/OS using CICS and DB2. I could not help asking if the person in question is Sam's son-in-law. On which the original poster replied in negative but indicated that the person in question is a retired IBMer and has some kind of license and uses Hercules. BTW my use of "someone" above is not because I'm starting an unsubstantiated rumor, I just don't remeber the name and don't have access to the machine where the message in question is stored.
