How many have heard of "z" 'out there'? Let's say, how about in
the now and present (that's the year 2013, just so you know) and
all those below the age of 25? Or let's say below 45. IBM is convinced that their mainframe, although
at some point
in the future virtually no one will have heard of it, will
somehow remain desirable. (Invisible telepathic marketing,
perhaps?)
Is this another expression of being "critically interested"? How many have had the chance to use a "z" in
the education mills?
Not that I am aware of. I have, in my 12 years at the current
job, used
a terminal emulator to access an AS/400 system, but I have no idea what
IBM system it's actually running on.
How many have had the chance to see, let alone use, a
"z" on or
at their job?
Nope. I would love to take a tour of the data centers here though.
How many people read about "z" in current
computer
publications?
Yes.
How many public forums are there about "z"?
Don't know. Never looked.
How
many public remote access "z" systems are there? To just name
(or actually, rehash) a few things.
Hmm, that's a fuzzy question. Is using an
ATM that sends commands to a
z series count as public access? Or do you mena using a terminal
emulator to use it?
I'm sure you'd rather opt for the "yer a
TROLL" name-calling
once more, instead of answering.
Nah, past that. :)
