And to think IBM's C-suite thought it was a good idea in the early '80s to get an ASCII desktop on everyone's desk. They, too, seem to have had no idea. Nor the Watsons when they decided to eschew ASCII for the S/360. Though in fairness, they likely didn't expect EBCDIC to depend on the IBM-manufactured hardware involved. -- <not cent from sell> May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!
