I'm working with four of them as build minions for a project. We support both Power and Z as platforms (as well as x86_64) I suspect the reason we're building software for them is someone is using it. I know Hyperledger is supported on Bluemix to some degree.

In addition to the comment above, about sending old mainframes to deep blue pastures (so to speak), I love how your comment adds to the mystique: "I suspect ... someone is using [the platform]". "Yes, my friend. Deep in the Dark Web, a hundred and one LANs beyond the routable Internet, there roams magnificent, ancient and magical creatures of legend - the great Zee. Quietly they tally numbers, and mete out just rewards to the poor souls trapped in this prosaic concrete reality, unable to so much as cross from our world to the Internet - let alone travel to these fabled realms of the deep, deep blue."

I think I'll tweak this a bit and put it on a shirt.

    I have no idea how you're going to fit all that on a tie or a pocket protector. Some history on uniforms of those that have most closely attended the Zee herd: https://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/waywewore/waywewore_1.html https://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/waywewore/waywew... I must say, this guy here, he's really onto something: https://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/waywewore/waywewore_30.html https://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/waywewore/waywew... Such power, and so much blue. In all seriousness, please share your tweaks.
