Get Off IBM's Back Already!

| Come on! What really bothers about this entire 
| affair though isn't the patent issue at all. 
| To me, IBM's letter strikes me as business as 
| usual in a world with software patents. Given 
| my druthers, we wouldn't have software patents 
| period and, IBM, really, would it kill you to 
| work with TurboHercules? I see their efforts 
| as being more complementary than competitive 
| to your mainframe business. No, what really 
| bothers me is how this has turned into an ugly 
| mud-slinging mess with IBM as the target.
