pdurbin: I don't think IBM could ever take on Google or Apple, IBM has a history of miserable failure in the consumer space |

currently I have no idea what products they sell, who buys them and why, but I suppose they're successful with business and government projects |

I feel similarly about Red Hat (except I have an idea of what they sell), so I suppose it's a good match |

I've used Red Hat products professionally for the last two decades so I have a good sense of them. I haven't used an IBM product since AIX in the late 90s. |

I think I used Red Hat Linux very briefly (that was before it went commercial and they started Fedora) |
| 11:46 |
|
aditsu |
probably nothing else |
| 11:47 |

pdurbin |
Yeah. Me too. Red Hat Linux 5.2, I think. Late 90s. |

Some dude handed me a CD at a Linux user group in Madison, Wisconsin. |

I have a couple of CDs with IBM software, which I basically never used :) |

VisualAge for C++ and for Java |

never heard of it |

an IDE with some supposedly cool and advanced features |
| 11:52 |
|
aditsu |
it was around the year 2000 |
| 11:53 |
|
aditsu |
I tried to install it, it took a huge amount of disk space, was extremely slow, and occupied a ridiculous amount of screen space with large buttons and stuff |
| 11:53 |
|

I guess it would work fine with today's hardware :) |

you can find some screenshots on google images |
