RE: IBM selling PC division

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Who else but IBM even understands how to make the iSeries?  The PC market is
so homogenous, that IBM gains nothing by manufacturing their own PC brands.
I haven't heard anything about this, but I really doubt that this involves
ANY of the x-series PC server products.  Only desktop PC systems (business
and home class PC) would be involved....

I just heard this on CNBC. They said it's not a done deal yet.

If IBM is selling the PC part of its business, might they do that to
iSeries?

I think they said the PC part was a $10B piece of the business. How does
iSeries compare with that?

Thanks,
