Hey All,

For an obscure machine,   a LOT of people are buying them !
Take a look at this week's "Monday Morning Update"

"Can IBM Break $5 Billion in AS/400 Sales for 1998?"
http://www.midrangecomputing.com/mmu/98/m980810.htm

<<  According to Tom Jarosh, general manager of the AS/400 line, 
The AS/400 business has never been stronger.   >>

<snip>

    <<..... That revenue level would make the AS/400 hardware business, for
  the first time in IBM's  history, as big as the company's flagship
  mainframe business.    And  depending on how the new G5 series
  mainframes are perceived by the market (and depending on the prices
  that IBM can charge based on intense price competition from clone
  mainframe makers Hitachi Data Systems and Amdahl and clone
  disk maker EMC),   the  AS/400 hardware business could actually
  end up being bigger than the mainframe hardware business. >>>

<Just a Snippet>

BTW,    I sent a similar posting to about 20 or so  writers and editors of
Magazines.
Lets see if they pick up on it.     It's our time to shine!
