Maybe no intentionally trolling, but by the way you presented your
arguments, and the lack of links to back up the claims, it most
certainly comes across as trolling.
I cannot sit still for this one.
You are not "critically interested". You sit there spouting off
"MAINFRAMES ARE DEAD, YOU ARE A RELIC IF YOU THINK OTHERWISE" in various
ways, trolling with your cluelessness and tired old rhetoric.
Do not EVEN try to bring any degree of respectability to the shit you've
spewed here. There was no "critically interested" about it. You are a
clueless troll, nothing more, and nothing less. And there's MORE...See below!
Yeah, sorry 'bout adding that confusion, Dave... ;)
So far, no refutations, just name-calling. Well,
a bit of something
vaguely resembling a /discussion/ is slowly returning. So, I guess
that's a good sign and it's not all lost yet.
(By the way, are you the same 'Dave'?)
He is not the same "Dave". HP is only
keeping up appearances with its IA-64 offerings, just
to annoy Oracle and that's about it, it seems. I doubt Oracle
in turn would keep the SPARC stuff alive much longer either,
they seem /content/ with their x86 things.
Keep reading the news, you're missing stuff. The latest SPARC hit the
streets a week or two ago. Are you pretending to know more about the SPARC
market than Oracle now, as well as knowing more about the mainframe market
than IBM?
What color IS the sky in your world, anyway?
