Which is why IBM dominates the pc market.
You recalled:
In fact i remember an IBM engineer looking at the the first CPUs and asking what in the world is it good for...

You've answered your own question about why tech people do not see possibilities.
Whatever is is right.
Belief in the present, where their skills and knowledge and experience are.

Remember the discussions about what an "operating system" is?

Do you think Linux would get so many advocates against Windows here if it weren't Unix under another name (and copyright)?
If Windows weren't threatening to move into the upper reaches of the data center, the issue would be moot.

You're actually addressing a conservative group.
