    Yeah I’m starting to suspect mainframes might not be the future of computing.

      They’ve actually been doing relatively well. Not a rapidly growing market, but solid growth of a core base tied to wider growth in the economy.

      There are certain use cases where it’s borderline impossible to move to a completely new system and it’s simply safer to get the next IBM mainframe update that easily plugs into your system and you get high class support for any and all issues.
