I had the same result.

When I look at it, Page 3 is the same as Page 1. Is something
missing??

In Search of Mainframe Engineers
New technologies point to the future of mainframe computing
January | February 2008 | by Ivan Wallis and Byron Rashed
It may seem as if few people want to become mainframe engineers
in
today'=
s
glorified Web 2.0+ world, as newer platforms have become the
focal point
=
for the next generation of young engineers. The result is a
graying
population of mainframe engineers, and unless more is done, when
this
generation of engineers retires there may not be enough
qualified,
skille=
d
and motivated professionals to maintain the still significant
and
relevan=
t
universe of mainframes systems.
Compounding this engineer shortfall is that access to mainframe
data has
=
multiplied in recent years. Previously, when these mainframes
resided
in "glass houses" and only a handful of 3270 terminals were
connected,
th=
ey
were relatively easy to administer and secure. The typical
organization
=
might have one technician for every two or three users. Times
have
change=
d.
Today with applications shifting to UNIX* or Linux* on the
mainframe,
lar=
ge
enterprises or financial institutions might have hundreds of
thousands
of=
users accessing data from the mainframe. This means one
mainframe
enginee=
r
might be responsible for supporting thousands of users, which is
a much
=
larger and more challenging situation from a security
perspective.
As the older mainframe engineers leave the workforce, they take
with
them=
decades of specialized knowledge about legacy applications and
specialize=
d
systems. Without qualified replacements to train before they
depart,
this=
knowledge could be lost forever, potentially compromising the
security
of=
key corporate applications that still rely on mainframe systems.
