Re: More anti-midrange propaganda

[Glenn Ericson <Glenn-Ericson@xxxxxxx>]

Main problem  I see is lack of motivation for education on the product line.

Some of this  gets exacerbated by the press focus on movement of iSeries 
jobs to  off shore resources. That being the case, why would one  want this 
as  a  career direction from a college education?

And everyone knows PCs  which make them as comfortable an environment as an 
old pair of shoes. [ Many colleges  require  student body  to have PCs too]
