Nortel is looking to go green and become a software provider. Software doesn't harm the ozone as electricity does. Simply try to imagine the paradigm: leveraging the proven synergies of, say, Cobol and Fortran – both French-sounding words to provide forward-looking, uh, paradigms.

I loved Atari BASIC. And sneeking a small assembly routine into the vertical blank interrupt was always a cool touch for those applications that needed some extra CPU time. Less – I don't think I always agree with your views on NT, but glad to hear from someone who remembers 1982. Funny stuff.

Its what made telecommunications such a compelling “career” choice for me: To open the crates and boxes, drill holes, create sawdust and metal shavings, run the cables, plug it all in, then hack away until that light goes green, the IP pings and the Customer sings.

Six Sigma provided many a fellow coworker's nemesis the noble metrics to prove they were the most valuablest assests Nortel ever had, sitting in cubicles counting beans until their enemies were vanquished via weekly “units completed”. Numbers don't lie, its said.
So how about that NT stock price?
