Don't be Snowed by the Seven Myths

Anywhere you turn, there is misunderstanding, especially in science and technology. (I won't mention religion!) Thwarting certain bad information is where a lot of mainframers spend our non-tech time. (Seems like the story of our lives.) A coin always has two sides and unless you're Governor William J. Lepetomane you can only see one side at a time.

I heard about the following last week from Monte my IBM rep. If you work with "System z" or other mainframe platforms then you certainly have heard these myths and probably have spent more time than you would like in refuting them, so the article might be nostalgic or preaching to the choir. If you are new to this z world, then you should check out this easy-read three pager. Chris O'Malley does a great job of summarizing.
