A very interesting read.  Thanks for pointing it out.  

The sad point in the story, to me, was the decision not to go back to what
did work.  Why is it that going back to the last place where it worked is
not considered as an option? 

They mention that the S390 had worked for 30 years.  Yet it was not plugged
in again nor beefed up as a band-aid.  I just do not understand that course
of action but I have seen it repeated too many times.  I'd think IBM would
have "Prodigal Son" marketing program for just such wheels-off train wrecks.

VNS (Voters News Service) and why the networks didn't use
their numbers last election.
