Re: IBM pulls AS/400 specific ad campaign

Hi,
I have received a lot of private mail since last week's post about IBM
pulling all of the AS/400 specific advertising and moving these dollars
into Server Brand advertising.
IBM executives who have been asked about this are denying the it.  (This is
referred to as the "Kremlin Airbrush Technique".)  If you find an IBM exec
who denies this, ask them to bet money on the fact (*LOTS).
I just wanted to restate that my sources here are impeccable.  I don't know
who made this decision, but as I said last week, he/she must have an IQ so
low that when you square it, you get a lower number.
Funny, I thought Lou was compensated on overall profit and stock price.

Al,  We had much the same type of briefing and I will confirm what you are
saying as true, from a completely different source.  Unfortunately, with SP
sales starting to look good, we may be in for a long advertising and
marketing dry spell.
