Well, here's another one. http://www.bigbluesmoke.com/worldnews2.html The 'IBM unearths Raptor' story is either deliberately intended to mislead, or the author has such a poor appreciation of what IBM did that he/she should be disciplined and not be published again without a stringent review.

How many years ago was it that SUN first compared mainframes to dinosaurs? The z800 hase a lot of memory so it is appropriate that they chose the name raptor, since it was a small, smart dinosaur. Only 3 feet tall? But I thought it was really 'velociraptor' but I guess you need Velocity Software'
