Maybe so, but AT&T quit running in the race period, it wasn't that they were out performed.

No, there was AIX - that was IBM's Unix, but I remember in the mid 1990's, AT&T saw the writing on the wall with Linux. I had a Sun workstation and an AIX box at RCA (AIX was shared resource). It was buggy, non standard, and just hell to use. Linux was already better than both of them.

I don't know who was running IBM in the 1990s, but they sure blew the dog with all their stupid business decisions. They should have embraced Linux, they should have gotten rid of OS/2 long before they did, they should have developed their own hardware and computers, focusing both on x86 AND PowerPC. Back when XBox360 was using their PPC processor for the console, it was a top of the line CPU - I know, I was working for MS at the time. IBM was promising they were going to come out with a PPC workstation, and I couldn't wait to buy it. Finally I could get off my shitty x86 space heater and be able to use a real processor again.

But it wasn't to be.

Well, at least a Raspberry PI is pleasant and nice to work on. In many ways, it seems to be a lot cleaner, and more stable than my x86 desktop.

Just a couple years earlier, and it could be a VAX mainframe that that you could remote in with terminal software running on a PC or even a Commodore 64.

You f**ks arn't funny at all come back when you have a funny picture, no one gives a crap about the s**t you are hijacking this thread with.
