History : Mainframe Computers

The majority of my experience has been in the mainframe area — as that is what I normally work with in my employment-type opportunities.  Almost all of that experience has been in non-MVS-type environments, too.  However, I'm confident that I still have much to offer (even in MVS-type environments) after the many years of strong experience and much accumulated knowledge in the areas listed in the table below.

Hint:  Don't believe all the hype that the mainframe is an outdated and overpriced concept that can easily be replaced by a minicomputer or a microcomputer network: achieving a significant reduction in staff and hardware costs without sacrificing power and functionality.  That is a myth.  For example, today's microcomputer (a.k.a., a PC) may seem cheaper and more powerful than a mainframe on the surface, but this is only because it services a single user.  Try attaching upwards of 10,000 users (which mainframes can easily handle, and more) and just see into what kind of troubles and costs you will run.  J
