If you look at equipment resellers, you can get a 35 MIP z10 for next to
nothing. You still need storage and communications and software like CICS and
power

Timothy -
I did read all the links on your page - it’s what prompted the rant. And,
likewise, if you read my post in its entirety, you know that 15 days of a
“test-drive of development-based tools on Z” does positively and unquivocally
zero to address the items I enumerated. No way that testdrive (and its anemic
15 day limit) would provide an intelligent person an even remotely fighting
chance of learning anything useful about the platform with which to make a
decision on schooling, trade or vocation. Is there value in the link you
provided? Sure. Does it address anything I said. Nope.
Respectfully,
Chad

Didn't anybody read the page that I linked to? There is, already. For
up to
15 days.

What??? THIS is IBM's answer???
As a reminder, I do not speak for IBM. If you'd like *IBM's* answer,
ask IBM through an official channel. *My* answer, writing only for
himself, is to state a plain fact: free z/OS access is available,
today, from IBM, for up to 15 days. I believe in facts. Let's at least
start with them. IBM probably will if you're going to make an argument with IBM.
