Re: Fw: Wanted: 20,000 Main Frame Experts

I know. I have been on vacation and I am just catching up. Forgive me but I had 
to comment on this
old post.

 I thought that this article was most interesting. Especially the part about 
IBM donating modern
mainfram equipment to 7 universities in China. Is IBM planning on giving away 
any equipment to
U.S. universities?  I'm assuming there would be people willing to learn it if 
there was a market.
Sounds
like the bulk of the investment is in China. 

 It does not concern me so much that IBM is investing in mainframe technology.  
 However, it does
concern me where IBM is investing in education.
