Yeah, we have to be sure that we don't price ourselves out of the market
by using the iSeries for things it's not particularly good for.  That's
one of the reasons I've never pushed for native graphics on the iSeries
- I don't need the very expensive CPU cycles of my iSeries to be chewed
up calculating pixel positions on a screen.

Not all of us have the luxury of being able to cheaply add 35GB of disk
to our iSeries.
