I am helping on a IBM/VSE Mainframe to Sun Server migration for a regional bank.

A few weeks ago the software vendor to VSE to network to IVR finger pointing started.

I walked into the banks Window/Support area and asked the "manager" (about 25 or
so years old) for a PCMCIA cardbus network card I could borrow.
I needed a secondary one to track via tcpdump EVERTHING going across the network.
He snorted and said "We dont have any thing THAT OLD around here, everthing we
have is fully intergrated".

I SOOOOOO wanted to grab him by the scruff of the neck, slame his face down
on a desk beside a  Laptop and flip open the PCMCIA slot and say
"WHAT THE &%^#$%#^%#&* do you CALL that ?!?!", but I thought better of myself.
