?The other
amusing thing about which people here (at least) should
know better is the visibility factor. ?VMS, OS/400, MVS, and VM are
*everywhere*...but people think they're somehow "dead" because the
only thing they see in for sale in WalMart is PCs running Windows.
?Do these people really believe PCs running Windows process their
bank transactions, maintain hospital databases, or run railroads?
Let's also give credit where credit is due - there are huge numbers
of *nix guys that are as bad as the Windows guys. The penguin crowd
are the worst offenders.
