[rescue] Another fine business decision for us axp-lovers

[Joshua D. Boyd]

Oddly enough, I think that most PC software from when PCs were new can
still be run, even on modern systems like linux. Not a 30-40 year
tradition like IBM, but still decent.  I don't think there is any chance
of running 20 year old Sun software on a modern sun.
