Ed,
I have seen employers deny education for non MF related education. Yes I
know educate yourself hmmm.. maybe SHARE should offer a session or two?
IMHO it's far off-topic.
Of course mainframers, especially gray-haired ones do not need to know
detailed news about computer games. (*)
However if one doesn't know, then he shouldn't express opinions about
WinXP, modern games and DOS mode.
For example I never take part in discussion what model of S/360 had two
cranks, or steam whistle.
(*) BTW: Sometimes I have an impression, that the only game mainframers
know is StarTrek. The same apply to the movie. Personally I saw only TV
version of that and have to admit it's outstanding trash and cr*p.
My opinion only.
