unix wins again!

[rab at smu.UUCP]

hey, unix fans!

check out the article in "unix review" july issue on page 50.

it's an interview with richard searle, a vp at citibank/tti, the
technical arm of citibank.  they have decided to do their transaction
processing ALL ON UNIX!  this decision was reached after requesting
proposals from ibm, tandem, stratus, and dec.  they didn't think that
any of those proposals made any sense whatsoever since they were wanting
to get AWAY from proprietary EVERYTHING....

read it, and weep vms fans!  this is the day i've been waiting for.  the
largest banking institution in the world does what UNIX has been needing
for a long time -- large scale corporate implementation.  (i'm an 
ex-electronic funds transfer guy from a major bank, so i'm particularly 
excited about this.)

please copy every man, woman, and child on earth.
