I just believe that's the way CEOs and CIOs will read it. Most of them really think that the mainframe, especially using z/OS, is old technology even with the changes that have been put in place.
I really love this board. I post a link to a article about Accenture recommending that banks retool their core system to new technology and we get into a discussion of COBOL vs JAVA and other areas and finally get back to the original topic. Mind, I'm not complaining. It's all been a fun read.
