They plan to run z/OS 2.1 for 4-8 MORE years from today?? Its three-year
extended service contract (if they purchased one) ends September of next
year. That means they will be running *totally* unsupported for 3-7
years after that?! No security patches. No nuthin?! That's gonna make
them a hackers' paradise. All of that archive/historical HR and
financial data will potentially be at risk with nobody watching the
store. Scary stuff... I'm glad I never attended WSU...
I hope it's a 100% closed system...
