Yeah, there's an article in InfoWorld, about hopw IBM has always been a leader
in _spite_ of their products, but they are now coming around.  Scary.

And someone showed me his SoftDisk GS (I think that's the name).  He showed me
part of an editorial that said that the staffers are checking out IBM clones,
just in case. And there was a comment something to the effect that "Funny how
a few months ago, IBM was the enemy and Apple was our friend, and now the
roles have reversed."  Not an exact quote, but pretty damn close.
