In my day NOBODY sued IBM.
And nobody (with any brains) suggested looking at another mainframe manufacturer either.
You see IBM had this blacklist.....................
I was offered a job at IBM a few years back. I almost took it.

I don't believe they are quite as bad these days but then I don't believe they dominate the market as they once did.

They were supposed to have been one of the best major corporations to work for at some point. I would have been able to walk to work (I do now, I work in the basement).

(Besides, I'm not at all sure you'd have enjoyed the group singing)

That's where I draw the line.
