Re: The Mainframe world?
I challenge the question. Just what are we measuring with this "trend"? If we ASSUME that this measures interest in systems, then interest in all three is decreasing, and it appears Windows fastest of all. Is everyone going iOS or Google for business applications? Hmmm? If we assume that this measures number of problems for which folks went Google-ing for solutions, then zOS is the clear winner. Really, many of us download the important manuals as PDFs and know where to find the answer, We use groups like this when we are stumped and Google when that yields no answer. Ergo, not much trend but also no indication of change in interest. "We have not succeeded in answering all your questions. Our investigation of the questions has led to a series of more complex and preplexing questions. Indeed in many ways we are more confused than ever, but we feel that we are confused on a higher level, and about more important things". -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Re: The Mainframe world?
Honestly, I think it's a indicator of the age interested, right ? By what I have seen the 20-30 yrs olds love Windoze and Linux. But, I feel right tool for the right job. I live in client/server world of security so I see and experience all three.

That Interest Over Time graph is a little disturbing.
