Like they say, nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM. Or, these days,
Windows.

When I was in college the data center chose an Amdahl 470/V6 because it
would fit. The IBN equivalent required a chiller and would not fit in
the building. IBM went to the governor trying to stop the sale. Amdahl
had the machine in a truck, not far from the school, waiting for the
approval to go through.

I guess IBM was ****ed at Gene Amdahl for leaving and opening his own company. ^_^
