I briefly spoke with Dr Soltis at the recent Northeast IBM Conference.  I
asked him to put OS/400 on a laptop to distribute to universities.  He told
me that he floated the idea and nobody was interested, including COMMON.
Apparently, if IBM can't find demand, they're disinclined to fire up a
production line to create dumpster-filler.

This may be an opportunity for us to tell Rochester that we're interested in
a low-cost OS/400.
