I agree with Padgett.

MVS might have been good in it's time, but it is time to bury the
dinosaur Operating Systems & technologies (my first programs were
written on paper tape).  Aside from being user unfriendly & a
throwback to days of old, MVS is also expensive to deploy.  How 
many security administrators does it take to keep 500 users happy?  
5, 10, 20?  Most Unix decent system administrators can handle the 
load themselves.

Isn't MVS also from the makers of those systems which require UPS 
and need a team of engineers to resurrect the systems when the UPS 
fails?  8^)

Sorry for the digression, but I couldn't resist commenting on this
topic.  Enough tongue-in-cheek for now.  We now return you to your 
firewalls mails.  8^)

Best Regards,


Frank
