Java vs C++

[Sulfide Eater]

The entire banking industry, for a start.

What do VAX mainframes running COBOL software have to do with OS/2, Pitt?

But if this question is going to come down to your personal experience
of desktop operating systems it retains zero interest.

What does that have to do with OS/2, Pitt?

And a rather ironic statement, Pitt, considering that you evidently
found it interesting enough to not only read it but post a followup.

No, just Vajhøj.

What does tholenbot's classic erroneous presupposition have to do with

What does tholenator's classic erroneous presupposition have to do with

What do IBM point of sale terminals in stores have to do with the
identity of the manufacturer of the mainframes at a large financial
firm, dizzy? As long as both ends support a common communications
protocol, they do not need to be the same, dizzy.

What does tholoon's agreement with Vajhøj's classic erroneous
presupposition have to do with OS/2, dizzy?

What does that have to do with the mainframes at large financial firms,
dizzy?

What does trollenbot's classic erroneous presupposition have to do with
OS/2, dizzy?

That's very kooky, how you number people's posts, tholoon.

They're demerits, dizzy, and you have nearly 1500 of them. Another
frequent poster here has speculated that when you get your 1500th,
they'll reach critical mass and implode the earth into a black hole, dizzy.

Not to mention the kooky follow-up thing, kooky tholen.

It's a classic tactic of someone who wants to run away from a debate, dizzy.

[Arne Vajhøj]

What do VAX mainframes running COBOL software have to do with OS/2, Pitt?

VAX is a minicomputer not a mainframe.

Arne

 

[Arne Vajhøj]

22> VAX'es were never that widely used client side.

VAXes were popular in scientific circles.

True.

But they were also common in various other areas.

Digital was one of
the leading suppliers of Fortran compiler technology.

Yep.

"VAX extensions" were the de-facto standard once for
Fortran.

Arne

 

[Sulfide Eater]

VAX is a minicomputer not a mainframe.

Classic illogic. VAX is an operating system, Vajhøj.

 

[Arne Vajhøj]

Classic illogic. VAX is an operating system, Vajhøj.

No - VAX is a computer. VMS is an operating system.

Arne

What does your classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim have to do

[Mike Schilling]

Classic illogic. VAX is an operating system, Vajhøj.

Nope. An architecture and a series of computers that implemented it, but
not an operating system.

 

[Sulfide Eater]

Classic illogic. VAX is an operating system, Vajhøj.

And it's classic redundancy, too. Vajhøj had made the exact same claim
nearly an hour earlier, Schilling.

client side, Arne.
