Q3,

I'd be the first to admit that I am not an OS internals type. Neither am I a metalurgical engineer, yet I continue to use cars.

Given that you are an internals expert could you offer what will replace MVS within the next 18 months?

If you had to spend 8 hours doing research I assume that you've never actually used MVS?

Regardless of what inherent flaws MVS (or any other OS) has, for its time, it does the job. Twenty/twenty hindsight, tempered with the wisdom of a student's experience is certainly apt to judge MVS harsely. And what would you offer in its place... TODAY.

Remember... your entire job as a student is to learn. Out in the working world, DOING what you already know comes first and the luxury of learning new stuff is far down on the todo list.

Back to you...

David
