At first I thought maybe the referent was me. Wise? Debatable. Older? Remotely possible. But I searched my closet in vain for a 'denim newsie'. I guess that could signify my road apple hat.
Anyway those who've heard me say 'always broke' know that I mean nothing derogatory. Quite the contrary. IBM gives us a window into 'problems' like few other vendors. Whether an open APAR or one whose fixing PTF is not yet installed, we have a pretty transparent view into the inevitable brokenness of the OS at any given time. That is to our everlasting benefit. OTOH we cannot rightfully claim the peaceful slumber of the clueless. ;-) . .

Older guy, beard, wore a denim newsie....
