IBM is going to be writing some really big checks soon.

It sounds like IBM does not understand emails.
They are forever!
I know because my uncle worked for them and once he hit Fifty they started to put pressure on him to "retire".
As will a lot of large companies doing this exact same thing. Including the large, multi-national bank that I work for.
I'm pushing 60 this year. I'd say I have no idea how I lasted as long as I have, being in the same field of work though for different industries for these past 35+ years. I'm one of perhaps three people I know who's managed to stay in I.T. our entire careers.
The push for "millenials" and "digital natives" (a term coined by Gartner Group, *spit*) has been an abysmal failure where I am. They don't want to work, they whine about social issues all the time, and have the audacity to say "get out of MY WAY old man!" to me and others.
We're in their way? ROFL! If I were to hand over the systems I'm responsible for, which moves tens of billions of dollars around the world daily to them, our systems would crash and burn, likely taking with it the bank and making "too big to fail" look like a walk in the park, comparatively speaking.
The younger generation has no f'n clue how things really work in life. They just don't.
God help this country when our generation dies and they're actually in charge. Think this country's going to shit now? I'm just glad I won't be around to see how bad it can really get.
