Isn't IBM officially merging the i and p Series next year?  Will that help
you out?

Hi John,

I would like to see IBM change the pricing of the iSeries to user based
pricing instead of system based. Where os400 eventually runs on generic
hardware and users pay IBM a certain $$ amount per year per user for the
use
of os400.

Do you think that your potential customers would be more open to using your
software/iSeries combo if the iSeries was priced that way?

-Steve
