Revenues down in 3RD quarter.

IMHO
        I read with interest the article about IBM's revenues being announced 
at COMMON, and how it went over like a lead balloon

        My guess is that marketing has had a lot to do with the dismal figures, 
but I also feel the time has come for IBM to shelve it's stubborn adherence to 
it's 
EBCDIC machine code, and start swimming upstream with the rest of the Extended 
ASCII fish.
        Our loyal Midrange crowd also deserve, the ability to load the latest 
OS version on our laptops, or
desk tops, and not have to continually be dependent on the midrange hardware.

        If you build it, more will come....
