Err. Ahrm.. Because HP remains in the market.
They made a 500mhz bandwidth CRO in 1960. That was impressive.
Much of their last 60 years has been a dissapointment however.

Are we not a bit (200 years or more) too late?

Now that Microsoft has released .NET 5, you are probably wondering whether you should start using .NET 5, and perhaps more importantly whether you should migrate existing code to .NET 5. "The problem isn't change, per se, because change is going to happen; the problem, rather, is the inability to cope with change when it comes."

Nice quote 
But sometimes, inability could be replaced by "impossiblity", because some things are just out of our hands.

Imagine a world where you move around in your own personal sound bubble. I get that whenever people start talking about "Waterloo"
Or they mention a "midnight train going anywhere"
Apologies to anyone affected.

Oh great, like I really need help with that.
I take an antidepressant as part of migraine prevention therapy. One of the minor side-effects is that if I listen to a piece of music, it will continue playing in my head long after the music stops. It's a temporary aberration in short-term memory and completely harmless, but can be disconcerting.Kent Sharkey wrote: "midnight train going anywhere"

You need medication to get this side effect? For most people, it happens whether they want it to or not.

I need the medication to keep my head from hurting so badly I want to put a bullet through it just to make it stop. It kind of makes the high-fidelity earworm effect an amusing side note in comparison.

That album turns 50 years old next year, and I remember buying it when it first came out. Gladys can still belt 'em out, though.

Why does that remind me of the episode from Futurama where Fry was getting commercials in his sleep. 
"When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others; same thing when you are stupid."

Agile was a reaction to the dysfunctional methods that were not working at the time - the late 1990s - but Agile was in many ways an overreaction. Oh goodie - something new to ignore

Guido van Rossum, the creator of the Python programming language, today announced that he has unretired and joined Microsoft’s Developer Division. "And now for something completely different"
Looking forward to Visual Python 
And even more: the reaction from the Python fans

Holy good gravy.
SteelPython here we come, perhaps.
Hang on, I did mention Python++ a few messages back. Or Python#?
I can't imagine the Python people will be happy about this.
** edit **
Oh, apparently he really is going to work on Python! I hope this lasts longer than Microsoft's culturing of PHP.
