nothing to be proud of = there...makes me feel

really really = old...

 

but, gives perspective.  until roughly 1993,

informix sold more unix/xenix = licenses than

all of Oracle/Progress/Ingres/Unify combined.

 

Any my employer at the time owned = 33% of

Informix and 50% of Wyse...we = thought we were

real = hotdogs.

 

See who can guess who the company was...now

that would show who has their Unix = chops
