Yes I remember those days. However, at may last job I went 9 years without an 
unscheduled service disruption.

I have said for many years,  that all other things being equal (which they 
still are not), would you rather manage 100's of squatty boxes or one mainframe?
The choice is yours

Not at anybody in particular:

Do we have to make snide remarks because someone else had an outage?
Don't we remember the times when things on the mainframe itself went south?
Has every site's MF env. been 100% available through all these decades?
Is it wrong to fail sometimes?
Is this the attitude with which you'd like to retire, holding onto precious 
remarks and burning the path behind you as you leave?
What does that say about one's mentality and outlook in life?
