Re: Server Consolidation Flyer

I also received one of these postcards yesterday.

Although the two-pictures-in-one thing is neat, I thought the text in the
flyer wasn't very well done.  If I wasn't already familiar with the
iSeries, I would've had no idea what it was talking about, and would've
just thrown it away.   It certainly wouldn't have sold me on anything.
