This discussion reminds me of another long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away. (When I worked on "Mainframes" with 32 K or less "core" memory.)
Discussing the then lopsided world with my non-IBM salesman, in a local watering hole, after a particularly trying day of dealing with "management." The topic was the state of the computer industry at that time. (And yet today.) I was complaining of managements' complete lack of ability to see the superior to IBM technology, (IMHO) and cost effectiveness we had installed. That is when I learned of the non bits and bytes "real world." My late salesman friend said, "Fred, don't you understand that the computer industry is a Marketing industry based on technology, and not a technology industry?" Thirty years later nothing could be truer. No matter how much things change, they still stay the same... Fred Running Windoze XXXX on a "PC". I know, I know it should be Linux on a Mac. But I live in the "real world" today. I rest my case. > -----Original Message----- > From: D.
