  1. I had a friend at one time who was a software engineer at Tandem. He said that once they got bought up by Compaq, everything sucked. He said that before, their mission was to make the best fault-tolerant computers for their customers. After they were taken over by Compaq, he said the priority became cutting costs.

  2. I knew that SQL came from IBM. I did not know that it came from IBM San Jose, where I worked many years ago, long after SQL was invented. If it was at the main IBM San Jose site, that site is not even there anymore. It has since been turned into houses and stores. I did, however, very briefly work with a guy there who had gotten a patent in the 1970s for RAID (redundant array of inexpensive/independent disks).
