Re: ComputerWorld Says: Cobol plays major role in U.S. government breaches
Some articles posted regarding the 2015 OPM Breach at the Department of the Interior Data Center implied that DOI Mainframes were hacked. This is not the case. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: 'Hacking The Mainframe': What Hollywood Gets Wrong About Its Favorite Tech
The Model 75 was a beast. Just doing a lamp test would cause a power flux in the ovehead lights. I'm not sure how much main and LCS storage was hung off of it, but, by standards (s/370 was already gaining marketshare) it was impressive in the number of Jobs we could pump out of it. The standing joke about Greyhound Computer Corporation was Trailways Computer Corporation?. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: 'Hacking The Mainframe': What Hollywood Gets Wrong About Its Favorite Tech
Your drifting nostalgic contribution goes a long way in distinguishing the cultural differences in data processing (excuse me.. I.T.) back in those days. I worked weekends as an Operator at Greyhound Computer Corporation in S.F. with a 360/30, 360/50, and 360/75 on the floor. A mezzanine ran across the upper floor used as client work areas.On a Sunday night, one of the senior system programmers, Tom, and two of his friends walked in and said hello. Shortly after, all of the overhead lights started to shut off, and as I was trying to figure out what was going on, I spotted Tom and his friends enjoying a System/360 light show from the mezzanine.After about fifteen minutes, the overhead lights came back on, and Tom had cleared out. I'm certain that illegal substances were involved, but no harm done and another weird expereience logged in this interesting and long lasting occupation. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

New Kaiser Permanente Data Center in Colorado
Happy New Year.There was a recent article in the Denver Post regarding a new Kaiser Permanente data center being ramped-up in the Denver Area, Englewood to be specific. The Denver paper stated that there would be approximately 800 employees in this facility. I'm presuming that Mainframe support personnel would be in included, but I'm not sure, and I'm not seeing any IT support jobs being advertised in the Denver area. Does anybody on this post know anything about this new facility? If this is not an appropriate topic for this Listserve, I apologize ahead of time. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
