Why is everyone so shocked - In the 90's CA, Wang & Kumar told everyone what they were doing and no one winced whilst the profits kept growing. Now we are in the post Enron era and we all want to distance ourselves from a company that made no bones about making money, and at the same time financed the development and marketing of some of the most innovative software from small companies (the Jasmin Database, Supercalc & Supercalc 3d, ArcServe, Clpper & VO) - and then admittedly strangled them.

CA = computer associates new name... can someone make this clear? Oh, they already did; in the article...

"The founder would have to be at least 150 years old by now."

Actually, no. Charles Wang was born in 1944, and seems to be alive and well. He also happens to run a zero-overhead charity called the Smile Train, which is worthwhile to check out. So whatever he did in the past, he's clearly doing something good now.
