Congratulations IBM! What a wonderful 100 years it has been I can't wait to see part of the next 100 years and what you'll do.

  The longer you work in IT, the more you realize that the last 40 years has been spent re-inventing IMS, CICS and VM. Where would be we now if we hadn't wasted all that effort?

    Paying per MIPS? ;-)

      Like on the Cloud? ;-) People are queueing up to do just that!

      Snarky answer but true. IBM certainly invented ideas like virtualization first, but without competition, I don't know how cost-effective they would have been. Mainframes get dissed a lot, but a lot of great technologies were pioneered in that environment.
