To Tlindt on the SI Thread [from Yahoo! MSG Board--baga01] Welcome to the poor man's SI thread...I'm waiting until I make enought money in Checkfree before I can justify the $150 for the SI thread. I've been following the CheckFree thread on SI for about a year. In response to Cobol?... I've been a mainframe programmer for 10 years, and from what I can tell, CheckFree is building a state of the art Mainframe in Atlanta. For transaction processing there is No other way to go(then need for speed), other than the Mainframe. In fact I believe they are implementing a Parallel Sysplex (OS390), which allows 24x7, and allows connections to Web Servers as well as Unix Servers. When your talking transactions, you talking Speed! Cobol2 is the standard for the mainframe, the only other language is Assembler (which is a little faster, but all the Assembler programers have retired (except for me)). Feel free to post this on the SI thread, and thanks for the mention. Go CheckFree! PS. This is why MS partnered with FDC, MS doesn't own any mainframes .......................................................................................... Cheers Boys! They're blowing the doors off the Asian Markets Tonight!
