Best of Luck on your retirement.. Scott J Ford
________________________________ From: Joel Ewing <jcew...@acm.org> To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Sent: Fri, April 1, 2011 3:19:34 PM Subject: Retired 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). -- Joel C.
