Microsoft thwarted again

        Walden is absolutely correct.
        There are wonderful technological points in favour of both machines, 
but; unless the iSeries can get and maintain a 
        broader foothold in this marketplace, it will become the "betamax" of 
computers.
        Take it from an old veteran, the best technology doesn't necessarily 
'win'.

        The S/36 was the most popular mid range computer in the world at one 
point, that winning formula should have
        taught IBM something about marketing.
        Ours just sort of faded out of existence, without even an attempt by 
IBM to re-gain an old customer.

        "Pride proceeds the Fall"....
