Re: Migrate From Mainframe? To What?

Personally, I have to question if Anton Britz is a 'real' person or his motives. His comments about anything mainframe related are so outrageous, and are getting tedious to say the least. He lists himself on Linkedin as part of AB Consultants (there's a hint there!) in Idaho. But he doesn't

Shane, been getting this c r a p for a couple of weeks now. They generally used to harvest Hotmail addresses. So they've now advanced to more sophisticated ways. As Steve The Trainer said, Delete works well. Personally, I find if I intersperse some Welsh into it, it works even better! Aled
