” I never have heard of anyone who was on a mainframe or a power system say what you are saying. “

Then you need ot talk to people outside of mainframe land.

Can you read? You misquoted me. Let me clarify for you. I know of people who were on mainfraimes and midrange IBM systems and those people would never say ORACLE and LINUX are more reliable. The fact is they are not. I know this from personal experience from working in an IT department for 30 years with multiple operating systems and various hardware.

Come on out of that PC head land, where people think the whole world runs on LINUX and windows. It does not. If you want your data safe and sound DB2 is king. And nothing moves large quantities of data safely like DB2. I can't tell you how many times I have seen ORACLE go belly up over the years and lose the data. Or when a virus goes through the PC's and servers in a company leaving wreckage all around but the Power system and "I" OS was still standing. And most importantly the data is safe.

And by the way The Power system with "I" operating system is not a mainframe. Look it up.

Obviously you hate everything IBM and thats OK but admit that your view is from a childlike point of view that thinks everything from IBM is evil. Someone who is wise knows that there is room in an IT department for "MULTIPLE" platforms. The best tool for the best job.
