Aha! Now we know where NASA's IT budget went -- to IBM.
IBM specializes in making sure that you spend your full IT budget each year, so that upper management isn't tempted to cut it next year.
- valarauca1 13y agoYes but IBM also makes very damn reliable mainframes, also z-series can emulate system360's, which NASA had quiet a few of (the last one wasn't decommissioned until 2010). So likely to maintain payroll or tax data they kept IBM.
