Bill, you said "bull", which I misunderstood to mean that you disagree. But the article you posted in support of that opinion (or whatever it is) doesn't contradict the OP's article.
I'm just guessing here, but maybe you've been arguing with those mainframe-is-dying folks so long that you no longer notice the nuances. Ms Hovsepian didn't say the mainframe is dying; she said a lot of banks (repeat banks) are considering (repeat considering) moving to the cloud. (To be fair, it sounds like she made the same mistake. "Why the readiness to 'swipe left' on their mainframe and COBOL applications?", she asks in a throwaway inference.) --- Bob Bridges, [email protected], cell 336 382-7313 /* Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another. */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Bill Johnson Sent: Saturday, May 20, 2023 10:27 Bull. https://www.flynetviewer.com/blog/20220922/global-mainframe-market-projected-grow-318-billion-2029 --- On Saturday, May 20, 2023, 4:03 AM, Jack Zukt <[email protected]> wrote: Whatever the agenda of the writer, it still is something that is happening, mostly, I think, because of IBM's SW pricing strategy. --- On Fri, May 19, 2023, 20:14 Mark Regan <[email protected]> wrote: > https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesfinancecouncil/2023/03/31/are-banks > -breaking-up-with-mainframes/?sh=acb458b6bccc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
