True of a lot of IBM technology, is my impression. Note that their idea of
a networking architecture, SNA, did not actually support peer-to-peer
connections until about the mid-1980s.
Their labs produced a lot of research papers and patents, but it seemed to
me very little of the clever stuff actually made it into their products.
