I think we can agree that today's media and not to mention
a little thing called the Internet was able to get the word
out.  Leo Laportte wasn't on TV 10 years ago either.  ;)

IBM scared to compete?  Port OS/400, give it a nice gui
(not Opsnav please) and it would compete.  I would easily
give up my linux machine for OS/400.  I used linux for
enough years to know I didn't really care for it... and
it's a nice toy if you have TIME for it.  :)  But when I
can do it faster and better on another OS (ie Windows)
that's what I chose to do, just a couple weeks ago.
