Re: IBM net
I certainly wish that there were more users/hackers of UNIX
 that don't take a fit when you mention IBM.
They may be an unreasonably large corporation; one can't help
 but hate them a bit for that, but they build products that
 people USE and BUY (Real $$$ even!!). They must have something
 going for them!
If someone would write a decent timesharing system for the S370/3033,
 I'd leave the minisystem I use. But those turkeys in IBM can't write
 utilities worth a damn! (Look at IEHMOVE). They build nice fast,
 general purpose machines though; that's why I'm not consistently
 anti-IBM just for the sake of it.
