Re: Software Vendors

Based upon that premise then, IBM would be the first to go, quickly 
followed by all UNIX systems, then by Microsoft, Apple, and Sun.  Your own 
company would be the only company still in business.  Tell me, what sort 
of operating system will your company be offering?  Will it run on 
Pentiums, 5251 terminals, and Apple ]['s?  What about communications and 
languages? Will your software be limited to a few hundred languages or 
will it operate in all known languages, including the pictograph 
languages?  Will it correctly convert all measurements, including 
furlongs/eon to centimeters/fortnight?

Yes, if they can't do that they are in the wrong business.
