Would it surprise you to know that I don't scour the New York Times or the
Wall Street Journal for iSeries advertising?

So when I got your note, I went out and got a copy of the WSJ.  Amazing, an
iSeries ad!

It was a tad cold of IBM to point out the trademarks of IBM and Micro$oft,
and to lump the HP (Who the ad was focused on.  It was pointing out that HP
stopped shipping the HP3000 on October 31) into "other vendors".  (You need
to read the fine print.)

Anne, the next time you are going to do something staggering, like an
iSeries advertisement, how about posting a note the day before so we can
pick up whatever newspaper it is and show it to our bosses, who have grown
to feel that the AS/400 or iSeries is irrelevant, because IBM never mentions
it.

PS:   What does a full page ad in the WSJ cost?
