- An IBM salesman phoned a few months ago. ``I understand you're a Sun
- site; have you heard that many users are migrating from Sun to RS6000?''
-
- After I'd recovered my breath, I asked him if he knew WHY we happened to
- have six 4/470en downstairs waiting for shipment to a turnkey customer.
- No, he didn't. I told him. It was because the project had started on
- RS6000en which were so unpleasant that we ported the project during
- alpha-test and sold the Blue boxes.
-
- He didn't call back.
