Some guy in my lab was looking at asymmetric capacitors and this guy's site came up... hilarity ensued and I thought I'd share.

You guys spot his resume?

MVS, JCL, TSO, ISPF, COBOL, COBOL 2, COBOL 390, VSAM, IDCAMS, CLIST, Flat Files, MVS Utilities, Sync Sort, File Aid, JES Master, IOF, Comparex, MS Office, MS Word, Lotus Notes, Outlook, Exchange.

Congrats. Flat filesystems are CS101 databases. The rest of the world has moved on from the 70's. Your skills haven't.

This punk is the reason that I still have mainframes coming in to be recycled, I think.

He leaves a company, his replacement has the common sense to dump the mainframe in favor of a single, surplus Dell PowerEdge and a bunch of code written by $12/hr interns instead of $100k/yr mainframe consultants.

LOL! I think he is. He worked for Technisource. They dropped a mainframe on us about a week ago. It's decom-date was in 2002 - the same year he left the company.

He's a mainframe programmer. His language of choice is PL/1... An IBM heavy iron language from the 60's. Of course you don't recognize anything on there, it's completely and totally irrelevant to modern IT.

Furthermore, Mr. Gallagher has assembled his last two computers from individual raw components purchased from different vendors, demonstrating a superior knowledge of computer electronics and hardware, and confidence in his skills.

Superior to what, an ape?

Oh, wait. Mainframe programmer. They're... Different.
