MS pushed OS/2 to Lotus as the "Next Big Thing". Lotus spent their development dollars on 123 for OS/2. Then MS came out with Windows 3.0 instead (with Excel/Word/etc...) , and Lotus couldn't react in time.

Convince two others to do the same.
This might actually solve the real problem. It would also send the right message.

Did that at my last job. Had dual 1280x1024 17"ers. Turned one of 'em portrait mode, and used it for writing docs and web browsing.
Unbelievable.
See spyder-implee's response. OP didn't ask how *LONG*, he asked how *WIDE*.
While your answer is the most technically correct for how long a year is, GP's is also correct for how wide.
The link says 1Million (pinky to mouth) mainframe drives in 1980.
Did they even *HAVE* 1GB drives on mainframes in 1980?
When I got my Eee, I actually did a comparison to the (SCO) Unix server we used circa 1992.
Systems: EeePC 900, Target model; Austin WinTower 486/33E.
CPU:
Eee - 900MHz Celeron
WinTower - 33MHz 486/33 (note that this predates the DX/SX split)
Comparison: Eee - 30x faster
RAM:
Eee - 1GB DDR
WinTower - 32MB FPM
Comparison: Eee 32x more, runs at higher speed, wider bus.
Storage:
Eee - 4GB IDE SSD (added 16GB SDHC)
WinTower - 1GB 5.25" Full Height SCSI-2 HD (added 4GB SCSI-2 drive and 1GB Tape drive)
Comparison: Eee 4x larger (before and after upgrades). Eee - 3-4x faster (estimated)
Network:
Eee - 100BaseT, 802.11G
WinTower - 10Base2 (yes, ThinNet)
Comparison: Eee, 10x faster wired.
Video:
Eee - 1024x600x24 integrated 9" LCD, Accelerated (Intel chipset), external 1024x768 VGA available
WinTower: 1024x768x8, 14" CRT, Frame buffer (Trident TVGA)
Comparison: Eee: Better color, faster video. WinTower: Higher Resolution.
I/O:
Eee - 3xUSB2, Mic In, Audio Out
WinTower: 2 spare EISA slots, 2 spare ISA slots, 6xRS232, 5.25" and 3.5" Floppy disk, Bidirectional Parallel port
O/S:
Eee - Eeebuntu 3.0
WinTower: SCO Open Desktop 2.0 Server
Comparison: Eee wins.
Keyboard:
Eee - integrated laptop style keyboard
WinTower: 101-Key AT connector keyboard
Comparison: WinTower wins.
Mouse:
Eee - Integrated touchpad, MS Wireless Laptop Wheel Mouse
WinTower - Logitech 2 button mouse
Comparison: Eee wins (when using external mouse)
Cost:
Eee - $400 (2008 USD, includes RAM upgrade and SDHC)
WinTower - $15000 (1992 USD, includes SCO ODT2 and Dev System)

Second System - STS.
Yep. It parallels.

I remember using CBSim.
Former CompuServe and GEnie. Alas, I don't remember my logins either.

Btrfs tends to perform best at Bennigan's.
Let me guess... his ass is full of shit?
Yes.
See the Rodney King verdicts for an example.
It wasn't a lunar lander, it was a research/training vehicle LLRV/LLTV.
And yes, it was Gemini 8 that ranks with Apollo 13 as the most dangerous non-fatal US spaceflight.
