Chris, market the iSeries or market the green screen?  I
don't think anyone here is asking IBM to market the green
screen capabilities.  I just wasn't sure what you meant.

My opinion, once again, is that IBM needs new revenue, and
they can't get it if we continue to use green screens.  I'm
not saying the newer technologies don't work, etc.. etc..,
but I bet this is part of or the main reason.

They get new revenue from new users jumping aboard because
of these new technologies, and from old users who change
over and discover they're 170 just doesn't cut it anymore
with websphere.
