Why the stigma against IBM?  Is the Model 5150 not "old" enough?  Or is it 
because that its grandchildren are still in use today?  (This question isn't 
directed squarely at you, but at everyone on this list who feels the same way 
-- again, not passing judgement, just trying to understand why (mostly) 
everyone on this list seems to hate "peecees")
