teaching young IT certed person about old minis/mainframes

[Dave G4UGM]

You probably don't. What you need to do is get them in a learning mood, where they want to learn, and then they may teach themselves. How you do this depends on the business culture where you are and the person themselves, and the resources you have available. When you say "maintain" what does this involve, hardware maintenance, software maintence, admin tasks such as adding user accounts, backups?
