What is more of a joke is the fact that I remember a time when there were multiple computer companies that designed hardware and software (OS) and actually sold those items to the public 1980s early-late 1990’s all those companies are gone IBM (is but a shadow of its former self), Sun, Digital, Atari, Commodore Amiga, Next, Acorn, and SGI etc… At the time Next and SGI were completely unaffordable dreams when I was young.
For the most part, no one has really picked up the gauntlet since aside from Apple on the desktop as a vertical computer company.
Of course, pieces of the tech still live on notably from Next computers, Acorn (ARM) and SGI.
I wish someone would use Linux as part of being a new vertical computer company OS and hardware on the desktop. Why? Baffling.
