Didn't someone get fired for blogging that some machines got delivered to Microsoft because they revealed the building and types of machines?

No, but it's a HR deal, so we're not allowed to comment further on it, sorry. Let's just say that if +I+ took pictures of the loading dock and put them on my blog +I+ wouldn't get fired.

Good video. The whole screen capture / input thing just makes me feel dirty, like I cheated at a test... I mean you saw how slow the thing was in retrieving the record.

Even for light use I just wouldn't waste the time, I would pull open the mainframe and add an API or write a wrapper around existing APIs.

Now imagine doing so 30 times a day... With someone on the phone waiting for your reply... Unacceptable amount of time.

You did notice that he was running those demos from 3 Virtual PCs and a mainframe emulator didn't you?

Did you notice that the hyperterminal responded almost instantly yet the automated one took 30 seconds?

1 notebook and 1 PC(1 VPC).
the PC(1 VPC) is fluent running the DX9 Application(they called it Avalon).
