Re: giving an iSeries system to each college

I was surprised at Nick's statement of Mankato MN being
the last tech college in MN that offers iSeries/RPG specific >curriculum...

IBM's education initiatives are encouraging, and I want to see them succeed.

I read that Dell's revenue last year was somewhere around $67 billion (I didn't 
verify that number), which if true, it really dwarfs IBM's System i revenues, 
which were estimated to be around $2 billion.

Given the market share of Intel based systems, ISV's tend to focus on Wintel 
and Lintel platforms, instead of the System i.

There's quite a bit of temptation to adopt LAMP (Linux, Apache, mySQL, and PHP 
- or substitute Perl, Python, or Ruby), which are hot technologies, right now.

So anything that IBM and ISV's can do to spur the development of the System i 
ecosystem is especially appreciated.
