Hi Ted,  I think their discipline is our discipline, and the  
unification of disciplines has been a trend for some time now; so let  
us be called disciplinarians, or at least disciples of discipline.

Unification of desktop software<->mainframe apps<->multiprocessor  
software<->(often obsolete) dedicated soft-hardware solutions; it's a  
miasma.   And see what open source is doing: providing an alternate  
track (Fedora, OpenSolaris) for Enterprise (business) software for  
improvement, as the communities working on the open source become  
larger and more involved.

I'm experimenting now with running Solaris on a MacBook Pro, in a  
Virtual Machine, such that I can start understanding some of the  
points Bob Friesenhahn is talking about.  (though I'm an old solaris  
hand it was 3 full versions ago since I'd used it).

Aspersions to Domination as applies to Discipline need be directed  
elsewhere.
