Uhhhhhhhhh...................................

You snipped the following sentence in my post, Leif.

"Leading, and being TOO far in advance, is not financially healthy for ANY
company."

You wouldn't be suggesting that Server Group cut-off a whole LOTTA resources
to the x,p and zSeries, would Ya...?



And the other thing is, the MAIN thing, is that the computer industry WILL
NOT TOLERATE ANOTHER MicroSoft-type of leadership.

It won't happen.

Not by IBM or ANY company...  Them days are gone.



Not disagreeing with Your point, IF (big if) it's that IBM can do MUCH
better than it is, of course...!!!  But that IBM includes Software,
MicroElectronics, IP, Services Group, PCs, AND/OR whatever Groups they now
have (as I haven't followed as close these past 6 months).
