Subject: Re: IBM'S DECISION WILL COST YOU


I think this would be a good thing to voice concerns about. People
should compose their own emails about how this will affect them and/or
their relationship with IBM and send them to the email address provided.

IBM will (of course) always seek to increase their revenue off the
iSeries. Buyers should keep the brakes on as much as possible.
