Personally, I would of liked for IBM to get OS/2 out in the marketplace before Bill Gates took over PC land. It was a much more stable operating system and never gave you a General protection fault error which caused the whole system to become unstable. Actually mainframes still use OS/2 on the Hardware Management Console of the box.

Spencer,
Mainframes aren't the only machine in town but they are the biggest and MOST DEPENDABLE! Although, If it weren't for mainframes then I probably would be running a doggy daycare center today Oh well..... and just for giggles, I don't remember too much about the 70's that was more positive than the 60's except I finally graduated from High School in 1977. My 25 year reunion is this year!

Candy,

Just wanted to say that I am totally impressed with your
knowledge of the OS/390 Operating system & the
mainframe enviroment . CICS at our center is used mostly
as a access/database thing with TCPIP handling FTP's
and Connecttions for the Lan network.
Personal opinion here; but I don't think the mainframes
will ever go away completely. Liz.
