I remember, 15 or more years ago, seeing a photocopy in one of my colleagues' cubicles, with a picture of a dinosaur running rampant eating little PC-like creatures.
A few years later, I saw a similar graphic on some mainframe services buttons that were being given out.
The message on both? Mainframes: We're Back and We're… (insert word suggesting "in a mean mood").
In other words, we mainframers have known it for years.
The good news? The rest of the world is finally getting it too!
One of the most recent indications of this is the following article in the Economist that came out earlier this month: http://www.economist.com/businessfinance/displaystory.cfm?story_id=15276714
Now, more good news: the Arcati Mainframe Yearbook for 2010 is out, and it's packed with the kind of stuff that warms a mainframer's heart (dinosaurs? maybe; cold-blooded? definintely not!).
You can see the yearbook website at http://www.arcati.com/newyearbook10, or just go straight for the PDF at http://www.arcati.com/yearbook10all.pdf.
You know, it just keeps getting better and better to be a mainframer!
