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.

It sure looked like IBM refused to release simple solutions because they
were afraid the competition could produce something compatible.

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.

The S32/S34 line had a nice design until they decided to make it
complicated with the S/38 AS/400 stuff.
