I was looking at the link for the contest, and my eye caught the following paragraph:
"Did you know that 25 of the top 25 banks worldwide run on System z, IBM's mainframe computing system? 71% of Fortune 500 companies are also System z clients." The fact that 25 of the top 25 banks worldwide run on z doesn't surprise me, but I thought the percent of fortune 500 companies running on z was more like 90 - 95%. This surprises me that only 71% run on the mainframe.
