Everyone,
Time for some special recognition. One of our youngest members, Connor, recently posted to an IBM mainframe list for some help with the Z890 that he bought from Rutgers University. Someone involved with IBM's SHARE (mainframe user group) read it and invited Connor to speak at their Feb. 28-March 4 conference in San Antonio -- and then HP Enterprise (that's the servers and storage people, not the ink cartridge people) stepped up to pay the cost of his trip!
