That is a good article. If you're interested in that type of stuff, I suggest looking into Blocklancer

Sadly, Commodore was proof that innovation doesn't follow good business... They obliterated IBM on a scale that should have been obvious outright. At the time though IBM had so many contracts with most businesses internationally that there wasn't even a chance to compete. They had the money.

It wasn't the first time this happened. Before computers, in this sense, existed they fought against all of the developers of computing machines. They felt their mechanical and analog devices would beat out their competitors. In fact this is the longest running lawsuit in US history since IBM's computer were originally phantom-ware.

I normally would edit that inline; not sure why I didn't. Maybe the nostalgia is getting to me.
I use to code forum/post/boards for BBS software and blown away at 1. how complex it has become and 2. how conversation flow still is an issue.

yep. i just heard an update on SCO a few days ago. I had completely forgotten about that suit. I think most of the rest of the world had as well.
