RE: The IBM iSeries word from FOSE...

I think it's best to just give Joe the last word on this one.  He's pretty 
passionate about the iSeries, (like many of us), and regardless of 
statistics, he'll have a counter for anything thrown up.

Doing so will allow us to move on to other topics.   :-)

Mike, I don't know why you would downplay availability.  While Wintel
numbers may indeed be getting better, they still have a LOOOOONG way to
go before they come close to iSeries numbers.  You CAN get pretty good
numbers using redundant systems, but then you really have issues of
complexity (as well as cost).
