It's worth noting that IBM was a bit stung by the fact that some (too many)
S/36 customers were opting to move to a different hardware platform...one
that supported RPGII and ISAM (KSAM)...was very cost effective, easy to use,
did not require systems programmers, had a bundled proprietary DB that was
reliable and very easy to setup/support/use, and had a support staff that
was larger than the sales staff.

and so much bad in the best of us,
that it behooves none of us
to talk about the rest of us"
