Re: IBM Cancels AS/400 Specific Advertising

>>>>>>>FYI - The May 24th issue of the Wall Street Journal featured
5 pages of IBM server advertising without 1 mention of
the AS/400.....

****************

Based on the information we have, IBM is going to generic server
advertising instead of pushing one brand name or another.  Basically as I
understand it, the RS/6000 people and the Netfinity folks were complaining
that the AS/400 was starting to take revenue from them.

Now while I am an AS/400 bigot and don't see the need for any other
architecture, we are a premier IBM business partner and we also sell
RS/6000 and Netfinity solutions, so... at least I can see the up side to
the decision, albeit a small one.  But I agree with Al Barsa and a few of
the rest of you, of the stupidity of that decision.
