IBM are pretty clued up these days. They had a rocky patch, but they're now on their way out. They offer services these days; they're good at it, they're good team players on all manner of community-based projects (many are OpenSourced) and they're making good profits.

They're not the market share they were, they're not as influential as they were, but they're heading slowly upwards. Rather a contrast to DEC (who?), Compaq, and (It saddens me to say it) HP.

The Tao is like a stack: the data changes but not the structure. the more you use it, the deeper it becomes; the more you talk of it, the less you understand.
