Subject: Re: IBM investment in i

Recently I read Tom Watson Jr's book about IBM and his dad, T J Watson.
IBM became great because T J Watson believed in sales. Everything he
and therefore IBM did was driven by a desire for sales. Today's IBM is
a far cry from what T J demanded.

I have no complaints and my views are just that...my views.

I could care less that you take offense.

Did you actually read the part about "very few" are selling ?

Whatever complaints you have, whatever myopic vision of a glorious green
past you have, the world is a better place with IBM bringing IBM i to the
mainstream.
