Those of us who live SoCal understand that fire quickly loses all sense of culture, either highbrow or lowbrow.

More to the point, anyone with a spark of interest in Robert Rannie's NIU curriculum has a bargain in store. Robert is conducting a fast-paced, compressed version of his Mainframe OS Boot Camp at SHARE in Austin. A fraction of the university dollar and time commitment will buy a healthy chunk of mainframe expertise in Austin. Learn good stuff and frolic with a slew of your soul siblings in Lone Star country at the crack of March. No fire, and--Zos willing--no ice this time. Y'all come. . .
