I read the following post from the IBM Mainframe group which is really
funny. It is regarding auction of mainframe programmer on EBAY!
Currently the ebay link does not seem to be working. If anybody

Take advantage of this rare opportunity to purchase a VINTAGE antique
mainframe programmer, a value at $150/hour!

The REAL thing - he knows mainframe! With over twenty years of legacy

software experience, this is a genuine programmer being offered, NOT an

imitation (aka - point and click baby).

You are bidding on a technology icon, capable of generating true
legacy
code in the following languages (Cobol, CICS, DB2, IMS, IDMS, JCL, IBM
Utilities) and much more. Please bid with confidence and good luck in
acquiring this rare and valuable find.

Discounts are available with long term contracts. Bigger discounts for
warm climates. Really big discount if there is Geritol in the vending
machine.

Disclaimer: I reserve the right to end this auction early.

Bidding ended - no bids, and he has COBOL spelled as Cobol. For shame,
for shame, for shame.
