Re: Midrange-NonTech digest, Vol 1 #253 - 6 msgs

Just try it again, I got that the first time, too.

Dvorak makes some fantastic points there, some brilliant points in fact, but
some of it is "editorializing" in between the relevant points. Like the
assertion that IBM missed a great opportunity when it didn't break up so the
pieces could grab all the dot-com IPO money. And IBM kept even according to
his or others' figures, while everybody else went under.

But I've got to ask, where would IBM be now? All those IPO's have come and
gone, they went bye-bye for the most part by now, and you can count on the
fingers of one hand which companies still sell big servers and computers for
heavy accounting and transaction processing. Back-office stuff.

IBM, HP-Compaq, Sun, and a couple more.

He criticizes IBM for using Linux when they already have their great OS's,
then derides them for not putting Lotus on Linux "if IBM is so high on
Linux". IBM is using Linux.
