Agree that the platform is alive and well, as it should be! Can't really agree with this, though: "Plus it is a lot more secure from hackers."
It's been my considerable experience that the mainframe is often the lest best secured platform on an enterprise network. Not that it couldn't be among or at the top of the best secured platforms in the enterprise (I've seen several that are happily exposed to the internet, are very locked down, and never miss a beat). But, it's dangerous to say that a platform is inhernetly "secure from hackers." as that just isn't the case. That takes a lot of work and understnding to do, it's possible, but it doesn't just "happen" because it's a mainframe.
