every time i try to read about old mainframe stuff it instantly turns into mirrors reflecting in mirrors and an endless sea of three letter acronyms. "to create a new DTL open a CMV and clone the KFO from the PLX", and trying to find out what any of that means is impossible because the documentation is burn-before-reading top-secret and nobody will tell you anything because they get paid six figures to know things other people don't. also everything is weird as hell - like the OS having no concept of a "file", or running an entire other OS inside it

there's a youtube video about a kid who bought a zSystem and had to deal with all that bullshit - no documentation, nobody wanting to tell him anything, hardware being in the machine but disabled by the software licence he had, and the un-skippable 30-minute splash screen every time you switched it on
