Why distribute apps and deal with network latency when you can use Hipersockets to run at memory speeds. Even if it's been a couple of decades you should know that there are certain workloads that the mainframe excels at. Check out the z196 sometime. :) I'm a Unix/Linux Sysadmin with 10 years experience and recently took the plunge as a mainframe software system programmer. It's taking some getting used to but I really like the platform. I had no idea how much tech that is old hat on a mainframe is thought to be so new in the distributed world.
