For some reason, I just ASSuMEd that he was likely a programmer.

Good point. If it is personal data, then I'd strongly suggest that it does 
not belong on a company machine.

Again, on a company machine, "only you" should not be an option, IMO. 
Reminds me of some foolish print operators at a place that I used to work. 
The printer was a Xerox 8700 laser. The operators placed "sensitive 
personal" information in a file on it, thinking that nobody else would 
ever see it. Management was not amused when the machine was audited by a 
Xerox person. They were quickly shown the error of their ways, and the 
door. Any wonder that I'm paranoid? <grin>.

Do PDS'es exist on anything other than z/OS? I know that z/VSE has 
something similar, but the name is different. At least according to my 
fading memory.
