managers need to carefully evaluate IT risk. As technology becomes ever more ingrained in business operations, what are the true costs of security breaches and outages? What systems and software fail less? Are most resistant to security breaches? And who are the talented IT people than can address these concerns? >> Yeah, but that's where IBM's really and truly dropped the ball. They dropped support of education, they fumbled OS/2 and PS/2 big time now have outsource the PC division. Got a whole generation of PFCSKs with no exposure to the rich architecture of MVS and no incentive to get interested. When it comes to making purchasing decisions their gonna go with their comfort zone-Windows, UNIX and ORACLE. And people are getting really mad about the irresponsible, cavalier approaches being foisted on them by "processing centers". If the industry doesn't police itself with more rigorous policies and procedures the government will. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
