Actually yes it does. If a customer wants a job done you just them for the $13K and if they go away well it wasnt worth doing. It has a much more subtle set of affects 1. "How much".. "We could do it on a PC for $20K less" 2. "S/390 is that Windows 98 or Windows 2000 ?" - Nobody in the consulting company bothers to play with it to learn about it so there are no skills 3. "I'm bored, but I have no money" - Students wont pick up the skillset in spare time curiosity and learning - while they will play with Hercules for example.
