Cased on the myopic viewpoint ot this group, anything
with a market share less than windows, and a
technical acceptance less than UNIX must be a flop.
This is getting old, can we move on, to something more off topic... Just kidding
Even some of IBM's flops turn out to be scores. The 7030 (AKA Stretch)
and FS (Future System, the machine to be beyond S/370) both were
short/medium term financial disasters for IBM, but the engineering
knowledge gained from them paid off in huge proportions in later
machines.
Beans are important.
