I can't resist following up my own posting.
It's admirable of IBM to openly admit they blew it with the
RT. It's unconscionable of them to imply that the _RT customers_
blew it by purchasing the machines!
In case anyone thinks this is sour grapes, I'd like to point out
that I've never purchased RT hardware.
