Al, you're such a pushover...

You're quite correct though imho. What would the evil empire do with a
product as reliable and powerful as the /400? Maybe the stones would
write a NEW song. IBM (generally - microchannel was never that big
anyway) makes great hardware, but have become incompetent marketeers. A
reasonable person however, can learn to do whatever is necessary. I hope
you've begun the education. I could sell shoes, but it wouldn't be
nearly as much fun.
