Re: Any thoughts on the Matter?

John,

this would match what we're seeing in reality.  To wit:  IBM is ignoring
the AS/400 product line in most of it's marketing;  IBM IS REALLY PUSHING
the RS/6000 line....Frank has said that by next summer there will be no
difference under the hoods between a rs/6000 and a AS/400.  

No surprises here dude...but I hope I'm wrong....
