>Does the AS/400 make more money for IBM than Netfinity and RS/6000? If so,
why are they not ramming the AS/400 down the throats of everybody in
Computerland, its a truly great >system, and its still getting better every
year. Why are they trying to kill it. Is the AS/400 still succeeding in
spite of IBM's best efforts?


With Netfinity they have to pay for the Processor,  and the OS.
With the AS/400 it's their chip and OS

Which one do you think would have the best margin?

On the other hand,  They have made desisions like this before.  

They had/have and OS they own outright 
and yet promote Win98/2000

Remember OS/2 ?
