I never knew about this poem. It's a factual observation of that era of computing.
To this day, people getting into retro computing are disappointed by the Tandy 2000 and other non-PC compatible MS-DOS machines. (I get it, having passed up on an AT&T 6300. But if you wanted to give me a DEC Rainbow or Zenith Z-100 I wouldn't say no).

Currently I’m looking for a VT-330 or some other terminal with Tektronix graphics. These seem like unobtanium this side of the Atlantic.
So, if someone has a Rainbow, Z-100, AT&T Unix PC, 3278 terminal, or anything like that, I’m rescue stray computers.
