Why not connect the PCs into a network; write some software to
schedule applications, share data, and handle security;
and scrap the mainframe? Some installations did this, only
to discover that at great time and expense, they had reinvented
the mainframe.
— Gary DeWard Brown, System 390 JCL Fourth Edition, 1998
The university that produces the most blue chip CEOs and university
professors, the most Peace Corps volunteers, and the most productive and
long-running patents isn't Stanford or MIT—it's the University of
Wisconsin.
