I like the reliablitity of mainframe computers. I learned cobol while in highschool , and was able to use it once I graduate from college.
You have to remember this is over 40 years of IBM's top scientist who designed it.
I dont know how it was with the punch cards, but the system I used was reliable. For instance you didnt have to constantly reboot due to screen-freeze ups.
