| What do you have to do with CICS? |
| My first involvement with CICS was as a CE helping customers get it to work and keep it working. After 7 years I moved to marketing support where I worked on the DOS IPO, SPO and SIPO/E, building quartery product refreshes. I then worked on building VSE/SP package in the USA and Germany before returning to the UK to run the Early Support Program for EMEA. I moved to Hursley in 1985. Since them I've worked on CICS/VS, CICS/CMS, CICS/VM, CICS OS/2, CICS/400, CICS/MVS, CICS TS and TXSeries, in a Technical Planning and Strategy role. |
| What were you doing around 8th July 1969? |
| I was driving a truck for British Road Services Parces, now Lynx. |
| Fondest CICS related memory |
| Spending a week at a customer in Aalborg, Denmark on a fire call, getting their new CICS system up and running. |
| “If CICS was to disappear tomorrow…..” |
| ...we'd all be doomed. |
| Name something else 35 years old that you still use. |
| Nothing else has lasted that long. |
