Quantum computing. Cognitive computing.
Back in 1990-95, as I recall, IBM had KT, ESE, TIRS, and IBM
Prolog for 370 (which ran on VM and MVS).
How many here know what any of the above products were?
Anybody ever have a copy to work with or know of any shop that
had one of those products in production?
I happen to know of two installations back in those days.
And so now IBM is pushing Cognitive computing, and talking about
Quantum computing.
It seems to me that the chopping block is being used to cut costs
in an effort to have a positive Earnings Per Share -- while
buying as many shares as they can.
Yeah, there is blood in the water.

Maybe we're on the dawn of a new era. IBM is shedding the 20th century and
stepping into the 21st.
IBM is going to produce the first marketable Quantum Computer.
And who is going to buy it? The people interesting in WATSON … maybe. There is
blood in the water.
