History that lead us to the NC?

>IBM made a lousy, hard to configure, antiquated, PC design (that took over the market because of the big three letters). IBM had a vested interest in complexity, because IBM made most of their money off the service of recommending, installing, maintaining and configuring machines. It didn't matter that it was bad (complex and poorly designed), IBM made money, and got to have their specialists to "set-up" the machines. IBM didn't want to make a "good" PC -- that would cut into their "real" computer sales. But the IS/IT people were already used to worshiping the great Allah "IBM", and so they were happy to bask in IBM's greatness, and pretend that their farts didn't smell. These people are like fraternity brothers getting spanked with the great alpha-omega paddle -- each swat bringing tears to their eyes, and a squeaky voiced plea, "Thank you sir, may I have another".
