  There are admins that resist to changes (maybe to busy to bother with 
new things). So they are stuck with Suns. When you show them that with 
bash you can use the arrow to go back in command history, they almost 
cry in illusion.
   Others may be forced by their software provider. In my company we 
*still* have an Sparc Classing on production 24/7, running SunOS 
(solaris wasn't even born I think). It's amazing.
  But Solaris is OK, specially the new versions. Think it could be 
worse: it could be AIX! It could be OS/400. Have you ever used the 
pseudo-sh that comes with OS/400? What a joke..
