And that colossus is not what most of you are thinking (for me)!!  Can
you say Sun (Solaris)?  Or IBM (AIX)?  Or how about the original colossus
that drove many of us to free linux in the first place, AT&T/USL/SCO?!?

(I know, I know, most of you were thinking of that Redmond company (no,
not Rational), weren't you?  Or, heaven forbid, that Massachusetts
company, DEC.)
