Well, if IBM hired me and I knew what their margin on the 400 really was,
I'm pretty sure I'd be just as avid with them about shaving the margin to
be more attractive in the market. I'm sure they'd get just as tired of my
emails as Don does.

Yes, you are right. But it has long, long irked me that the PC world has
always rated computers based on CPU speed. There are so many other factors,
even if all you want to look at is the hardware performance. Then when they
buy the hardware they pour a wretched batch of molasses operating system on
it.

In the PC world there is a CFINT as well. But you have to license it from
Microsoft.
