Most of this 'stuff' (distributed vendor software and services) is an assembled mass of hype and hoopla, and acronyms, lots and lots of acronyms. Once purchased and attempts made to implement, the hype and hoopla become anomalies, which translates into much American dollars. The computer rooms are now larger than they were in 60's and 70's, need more environmental controls, and power, lots and lots of power. The distributed platform predecessor, the mainframe, is now housed in the computer room closet, guess the lights actually did go out for that platform! I can't figure it out though, it was suppose to go the other way! Have we re-learned anything yet?
