Re: Computerworld Article: Wall St. Leans Toward Linux
Is this a broken link, or do I have a (very antiquated) browser issue? Thanks, Paul =From: Post, Mark K [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Computerworld Article: Wall St. Leans Toward Linux With a handful of key Wall Street brokerage firms acting as icebreakers, Linux is quickly gaining ground on Unix and Windows as a mission-critical operating system within the securities industry. The attractions: its flexibility across systems and the savings it yields through the use of commodity hardware. The list of people in the queue who are saying 'When I have a new project, I'm going to use Linux' is larger than we can handle, said Rick Carey, chief technology architect at Merrill Lynch Co. in New York.

While Cary said he still prefers Microsoft's performance for some functions, such as desktop applications, he said the cost of running Linux is typically a tenth of the cost of Unix and Microsoft alternatives.

Neither. It's listserv line-wrap.

I haven't spent a lot of time, but I've looked for this issue a couple times, and I haven't found exactly why this is occurring. The wrap is happening prior to it being received at Marist. /ahw Mark Post -Original Message- From: paultz [mailto:paultz;ucia.gov] Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 2:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Computerworld Article: Wall St. Leans Toward Linux Is this a broken link, or do I have a (very antiquated) browser issue?

Believe me, the number of projects is definetly larger than can be handled.
