While they are, mostly, dealing with modern mainframes and current problems, they also occasionally mention old story or two. Actually, since mainframe is such a living fossil thing, the whole talk sometimes feels as if it was about something upgraded continuously from the 1960-ties. Most of it is uncomprehensible to me (never had proper mainframe training, or unproper one, and they deal with stuff in unique way, have their own acronyms for things, there are some intro books but there is not enough time*energy), but also a bit educating - a bit today, a bit next week etc. Web stuff, requiring Javascript to work, ugh, ugh-oh. Mostly, it boils down to the fact that one cannot easily curl the text from those other places (AFAICT). So it is hard to awk this text into mbox format and read it comfortably. -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
