Re: Cheaper Servers? - Been there - done that

John,

Yep - they presented one to her shortly after it hit the market.  ;-)
Yep - the closest you'll come are those "iSeries" stinkpads IBM sells!

If you want to know some trivia about the beginnings of the "Huggable -
Luggable"
I was on a User Council to Rochester in the early 90's,(and Neil too?)
and Nora Craig hounded IBM to build one.
Some Skunk works went on, and they actually built one.  Showed it at
COMMON,  and it became a reality.
Nora actually got one for Free If I remember right for being the one who
forced/pushed/hounded it into creation.

I don't think it sold that good(for the reasons below).      I really
don't
think you are going to see a "PC/400"  personally.
