Effective as of the end of yesterday (3/31), at 65+ I am now officially
retired from Data-Tronics Technical Services after serving there almost
33 years. I will probably continue to monitor ibm-main occasionally,
but I expect any future contributions from me would be rare.
Ibm-main has been very useful over the years both to me personally and
to Data-Tronics, but that usefulness is primarily from discussions of
people dealing with current issues on current versions of software.
Although occasionally entertaining, I don't think ibm-main needs any
increase in historical-only content.
Unless IBM were to suddenly change philosophy and do something that
would make environments that support Systems Programming on z/OS
available to casual individual users at a price that doesn't impact a
middle class budget, my expertise will soon be only historical.
"So long and thanks for all the fish" (not in any way intended to imply
that Vogon destruction of Earth is imminent).
