[GRLUG] Hardware changes

[Bob Kline]

Not a good sign generally.  That
kind of splintering effectively reduces
the manpower available to do more
useful things,  and got Unix in a
whole lot of trouble in the past.

When it becomes the case that the
nice thing about standards is that
there are so many of them,  one is
in effect seeing a return to proprietary
distributions. Flexibility can be good,
but when it reaches the point where
few know how to do anything in
particular, that's wasteful.
