RE: Optimistic RPG request...

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This begs a question:  In a recent MMU, the new GM of the iSeries division
is quoted as saying they're selling "1000's" of AS/400's (or whatever
they're going to be called next week)...  Problem is, I can't find ANYONE
in N.America that can validate this kind of activity in N.America...  I'm
curious who's buying them....

Are they all going to China, Indonesia and Bangla Desh?  Are UPGRADES
still being accounted for as "new" systems??

We're still seeing a steady DECLINE in the boxes plugged in and in
production....

Where the heck are these "new" customers coming from??
