I just saw an IBM PS-2/60 today. The demo it was running was pretty
sleazy, so I broke out of it and got into DOS. I then saw something that
made me groan.
Their zeros are non-standard. That is to say, they no longer look
like this: They look like this:
00000 00000
0 00 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
00 0 0 0
00000 00000
Clearly, this makes the machine totally useless for any real work.
I hope IBM loses in a big way with this monster.
