>You're too used to VMS sales.. when they used to say VMS and you'd say >Ultrix and they'd say VMS and you'd say ULTRIX and they'd say VMS and then >you'd day ULTRIX or I GO TO CONVEX, then they'd sell.. Or too used to dealing with Sun.. when you'd say X11 and Xt, then they'd say SunView. Later you'd say X11 and Motif and Xt, then they'd say X/NeWS and XView. Now you say X11R4 and Motif and Xt, and they say OpenWindows (sic) and XView... "It can't be a standard unless we invented it. In three years, when we invent X11, then it will be a standard." - Jane Doe, imaginary Sun VP. "DEC announces a new standard operating system: OpenVMS!" - Vax Headrest, imaginary DEC spokesvideoimage.
