I'm thinking that I should have started answering my phone that way years
ago. I think I probably like the iSeries so much because it handles a lot
of the "it depends" questions. How many times have you been asked "What's
the best..." and had to answer, "It depends."?

Sure, if a guy is looking for just file and print services, the iSeries
might not be the best choice. But it could be, it depends. ;-)

And each person doing that evaluation should start with an appropriate
apprehension for the things that go bump on the net.
