There is an opt out -- don't use Zoom.
The Air Force has been wanting to get rid of the A-10 for a long time. It's not a true fighter jet and it isn't sexy. Besides, it's not the Air Force's butt that's on the line for CAS. I think that the Army and/or Marines should own the A-10. They're the ones that really have skin in the game for CAS, and therefore will do what's best for the mission.

Cool! Was that for MVS or VM (or both)? I imagine there were a lot of challenges adapting it to work well in a 3270 environment.

Did we read the same article/post? I saw no mention of Rust, C, or Go anywhere.

My go-to method is to eat a tablespoon of sugar. Works every time.
Once more -- my plan is to NOT seek a fix to everything that can possibly go wrong. Colonoscopy is 1 example.
My father is slowly declining in an assisted living facility. It costs a fortune because we have to provide 24-hr a day sitters to be with him. The last time I saw him I don't think he knew who I was.
I'd take the 4 weeks. Why? Less suffering for myself and my family. Less financial burden for my family. As bonus, get to leave the insanity of this world sooner.
I've spent a great deal of time coming up with my plan. My plan is to NOT seek a fix to everything that can possibly go wrong. For example, I'm 56 and have never had a colonoscopy and I don't intend to get one. If I get colon cancer, then so be it. If I get cancer, it's doubtful that I would go through chemotherapy. I'd rather leave life earlier than try to squeeze out every drop possible and end up withering away in a nursing home.
