>From the current issue of ENT magazine:

"Think back to what may be the single-most successful, business-critical
computer system ever made. I’m talking about the IBM AS/400. In actuality, it
was as non-open as a system can get. It was, and is, a wholly proprietary
hardware and software combination controlled by IBM. That fact never mattered
to the hundreds of thousands of AS/400 buyers around the world".
