>Swoyer makes some good observations ... I guess we all know where this leads to. Look at Windoze. If anything goes wrong, you're lost. The support people ask you to first "try rebooting and see if it helps...", then "we'll have to do a reinstall...".
I'm not saying, that making products easier to install and operate is bad. But, and I think this is the dangerous pitfall is to believe it makes "professionals" obsolete. After all, this is what marketing promisses to management. Management would be well advised to start today recruiting and educating new people in the mainframe business.
