[–] cm3 10y ago ↗ But when can we get a POWER workstation for a reasonable price? [–] x5n1 10y ago ↗ heh. good one. i wonder when IBM will open source Z/os so I can run it on an emulator to mess around with cobol. [–] [deleted] 10y ago ↗ (comment deleted) [–] tolle 10y ago ↗ COBOL works fine on other operating systems as well. JCL, on the other hand, is only available on z/OS and it's just as important to know. [–] PeCaN 10y ago ↗ Talos¹ is a nice POWER workstation that is highly priced but still reasonable (not _that_ bad for a workstation). Currently they're getting close to enough interest for the initial production run.¹ https://www.raptorengineering.com/TALOS/prerelease.php
