Apparently (I don't remember it, although I probably did read the Byte magazine at the time) there was a rumor in the early 1980s that IBM's PC was going to be a shrunken 370, called the 380. [1][2] I wish IBM would shrink their LinuxONE Rockhopper 4 Rack Mount down to at least an "under the desktop" model. To my knowledge, IBM still makes quality products and has excellent customer service. They have fun names too (Rockhopper and Emperor are types of penguins!) and they even have 3D models of their rack mount cloud computers with shadows. [3] In fact, when I first read about Oxide a year or two ago, I searched for "IBM cloud server", and left it at that. So IBM, could you please send someone from the LinuxONE down to Boca Raton to create our new PC? :) Thanks! P.S. I would even accept a shrunken 370. :) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_Computer [2] https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1981-01/page/n313/...
