IBM invented “Micro Channel” and the PS/2 Computer, the biggest flops in computing history.

IBM is basically a consulting company at this point. And will say anything to stir up business. Today they are pushing Macs, Tomorrow Linux, next week Windows, Two months from now whatever, just to keep enterprises upgrading and buying IBM services, which, BTW are not cheap.

Liberals attack by using “your level of knowledge” as a way to dismiss someone they do not agree with.

Hmmmm. IBM's Market Cap as of closing today is $143.7 Billion . . . that's some consulting company, NJLiberalDestroyer. I suspect you really don't know what you are talking about. Yes, they do consulting, but they are also a technology company. Specifically, IBM manufactures and markets computer hardware, middleware and software, and offers infrastructure, hosting and consulting services in areas ranging from mainframe computers to nanotechnology.

Tomorrow Linux?

IBM has been pushing Linux and open source for decades now. They are not stupid.
