Which frankly is ridiculous. They should have their bollocks stamped on. By an elephant. A particularly fat elephant with some particularly fat people riding on it.

Is anybody still buying them outside of top 1000 companies?

I don't know, I only work for top 500 companies.
Unfortunately the current bunch have bought their tulipty tulip and now I have to get the rubber gloves on.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Past 3 clients have all fallen foul of IBM at one time or other. In one case IBM walked off site because the relationship was so poor.Originally posted by doodab View Post"A life, Jimmy, you know what that is?

Some of their stuff is OK but an awful lot of the stuff I've come across in the last few years is tulipe, particularly with some of the eclipse based tools you wonder if they read the manual before they started developing the plugins, there is some completely random tulip in there and they seem to be optimised for use on 30" screens and useless on anything smaller.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you.

To be fair, that was only true up to the introduction of the IBM PC in 1981.
Anybody who bought one of those or its derivatives is probably more deserving of sick leave than sacking.
I first used an IBM PC - a proper one, with a cassette port and BASIC in ROM it was, although they were just curiosities - in 1985; I was working with it at the systems programming level, doing stuff like driving the 8250 UART directly, but I had the full Technical Manual, including the assembly language BIOS source code. I spent the first day trying to work out why it was superior to other machines of the time, such as the BBC Micro.
By the end of the day, I'd concluded that it was a crock of tulip compared to the BBC. Sadly, dumb people kept on buying them and their ilk and, in a kind of technical X Factor, garbage won out over quality
