The only date that matters is 2004 -- no other mainframe OS/hardware
combos exist.  It is JCL compared to bash or cmd.

My only complaint is that IBM has failed to realized that the tiny
computers are taking over its turf.  If it does not update its tools to
be competitive it will go the way of ______________ (Rayovac, Spery, GE,
Univac, RCA, fill in the blank with the name of a dead electronics
manufacturer here, etc, etc)...
