RE: More anti-midrange propaganda

 >> I think that money would be well spent on iSeries TV marketing.

Only if a) you sell more boxes because of it and b) you make more profit as
a result.

b) is the major problem.  IBM might make more iSeries _hardware_ revenue but
because we all keep demanding more horsepower for the buck that would
nowhere near compensate for the revenue lost in services.  Look where the
bulk of the profit comes from.  It's from services, not hardware.

Sad fact is that if any advertising is to be done it would have to be _us_
the users with a vested interest in the box that do it.  IBM won't, and as a
shareholder I sadly have to agree with them.
