The birth of DEC is against main frame main stream for use of computers: the minicomputers concept. Again: you have a flaw in the main stream (not thinking computers could be used by litte entities, like medium companies or departments in big ones) and so you win. Thinking against the main way of thinking is sometimes fruitfull. Gérard Calliet --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2) |
