------------------------------------------<snip>------------------------------------------------
In my 20 plus year career I have seen a lot more people with mainframe
backgrounds expressing a willingness to learn and integrate usage of
non-mainframe technology than I have seen people from an "open-systems"
background show a willingness to learn anything about the mainframe.
-------------------------------------<unsnip>----------------------------------------------
I suspect that the vast majority are being told that "The Mainframe is
DEAD" and they're velieving it. Hence, closed minds. The so-callerd
EDUCATORS are major contributors to this obvious fallacy because of
their own ignorance and/or biases.
