Do you really mean there would be no market for any other machine?  I
don't think you do.  Do you mean there would be no market for any other DB
server (i.e. Oracle would go away as would mysql, postgres, SAP, etc.)?
Do you mean there would be no market for any other server (i.e. no more
Sun, HP, linux, SGI, MS (I hope!), etc.)?

Often (in fact I think usually) you need such "bare metal" access that
you've stated unix gives you.  There will always be a market for
non-iSeries.  I'm wondering which market you think would go away?
