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?
I agree with this statement, and out side of this audience how many
people
even know anything besides Windows exists? There are a lot of
people that
think all computers run Windows.
