[dba-Tech] Stick To It- iveness

Hi Arthur:

There are of course three reasons for doing this. One, QNX has a super small foot print so it can be run on devices with less resources and two and most important, "the cost". The finally reason(s) would be the duel cluster of stability and security.

Those folks in Ottawa that developed QNX (e.g. a better Linux) have had
their share of ups and downs, but have stuck to it for decades now. Given
the decline (or is it Phoenix?) path of RIM (now Blackberry), there's good
news for the QNX folks. Ford (the car company, not the mayor) is going to
switch to QNX for all future vehicle-software.
