Starting experiment now..

For future reference, if something doesn't have drivers for Win 7, equivalent Vista drivers are a safe bet since most of the nuts 'n' bolts of Win 7 are the same. Why it's taking everyone so long to catch up with drivers (or at least a note on the vendor's website stating a workaround) is beyond me.

It's almost an IT mashup...any networking guys/gals in the house?

MVS...old-school IBM virtual filesystem?



Hmmm...Still runs on z/OS; new versions of it appear to recognize the forward-slash path syntax of *nix-based filesystems (which would make sense given z/OS is a UNIX implementation). I look at that now compared to my own 6TB RAID-10 array (formatted XFS) and am reminded of Jevon's Paradox, wherein technological progress which increases the efficiency of resource actually increases the rate of consumption of that resource rather than decreasing it (which was ostensibly the goal of the innovation in the first place).
