    IBM will still sell you a brand new, updated mainframe in 2023.

    They’re also in the open source software space (IBM owns Red Hat, a software company that has a lot of projects for Linux. Red Hat has their own Linux distro too)

        Plus, if Oracle has room to try to be the “good guys”, you’ve really screwed up
