The mainframe system that I have work with for over 20 years is about to be retired.
What will I do, how can I cope, how will I survive? Command operated systems, I've used them practically daily since 1979. Now it won't totally be good bye to that. There are still some sub systems I use on my laptop and they are talking about getting me into servers and starting up their OS's. But the mainframe, that link to the big world, a way to see what was out there (and where it would crash when it wasn't working), soon to be.............*POOF*. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ (After Dr. Ruth tells Cameron to access the COMSEC computer.

You'll live. |

I know a guy that's been working for a company and their computer systems for about 10-12 years. They've got him designing something meant to automate his job. They duck the questions about what happens when it's online for him. Luckily, he wasn't born yesterday and knows what to most likely expect. |

I didn't know spies oversaw mainframes. Learn something new every day! SURELY you jest! Why, the information I've collected on people over the years could absolutely classify me as a stalker...................if I wasn't too lazy to budge from my console chair. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ("How dare you call a Winchester a spy, Sir!
