While we're mentioning the "wall", let's extend the analogy a bit.  The
current directions (web servers, Samba, Java, etc) are pressing against
yet another barrier, the "Posix/Unix" wall.  Granted it's more of a
child restraint gate than a wall, but it's still an obstacle.  So now
we have MPE vs Posix vs Unix.  Perhaps the latter should be SCO :-)
