IBM has a number of initiatives underway to educate students about IT’s best-kept secret: the mainframe
In 2029, a lot of the mainframe people still tell tall tales about the colorful characters that were around in IT in the early days of mainframe computing, and how large financial companies survived the period of the mainframe veterans retiring and taking all their expertise with them
Costing less than $200, it saved our non-IBM-but-compatible mainframe from melting down when the air conditioning failed and the computer didn't turn itself off
