RE: News/400's new web site?

I'd think IBM should be able to pick up a quote appropriate to their 
position about "bad press done us in" from the Richard Nixon collection. 
There's no need for IBM to go with simplistic cliche stuff when there is 
vintage material so freely available.

IBM DEFENDS ITSELF AGAINST KEYNOTE REMARKS THAT IT HAS FAILED AS/400
USERS (SEARCH400.COM) 
A heated keynote address slamming IBM for making it difficult for AS/400
users to transition to e-business kicked off the 79th Common user group
conference in San Diego on Sunday. IBM defended its positioning of the
AS/400 the next day during a keynote saying bad press, not IBM, is to
blame for the AS/400's identity crisis.
