The Daemon, the GNU and the Penguin - Ch. 23, by Dr. Peter H. Salus (Groklaw)
[Posted January 9, 2006 by ris]
Groklaw has another
chapter from The Daemon, the GNU and the Penguin. "When
Gene Amdahl coined the word "FUD" (for fear, uncertainty and doubt) in the
mid-1970s, his ire was aimed at Frank Cary, chairman of the Board at IBM,
who was waging a no-holds-barred attack on Amdahl, Itel, Control Data, and
the other small companies that were selling machines that competed with the
IBM 360/168."
