Getting off-topic, here, but I've never felt the lure of the 365 subscription. Maybe it's just because I'm an old fart, but I dislike the idea of using software that they can change when THEY want to. MS Office is the one app I shell out real money for whenever I buy a new PC; the rest of the

Along those lines, if you get an office 365 subscription, bundled into this is one-drive. So unless you specifically save documents to a file server or on/in your computer (you do not use a one-drive path) you are using M/$ cloud. And what I have found is, if you turn off one-drive, Word, XL,

I can't resist this. A certain Electric Utility asked some consultants about how to remediate for Y2K. They were told the best way to do it was to migrate off their mainframe to some fad app/language. So they made the cut some months before Y2K and reports they had done on demand (where do

Yes, Tim, perennially entertaining. A client I did some work for a couple years ago has been working on a two-year project to dump their mainframe for the past six years; they're still plugging away at it. A year ago they got new a new mainframe box which of course involved upgrading z/OS and

Since this is a city, any way of getting reports that would allow you to see how much it cost to go off their mainframe? And then any way to project the cost of now (what ever architecture) to say a z14? I think it could be instructive. Steve Thompson On 1/19/2024 1:42 PM, Tim Ribble wrote:
