RE: iSeries 25% Growth 3rd Quarter

And one could argue that units may not be a good representation.  It would
be a good number to know.  Generally speaking it's takes less units to do
the same amount of work year to year - I know that is the case in our
environment.  Heck, I'm looking at an upgrade that triples my processing
power but costs less than my 3 year old machine.

The thing I'm always most interested in is new customers - and don't quote
me on my 3,000 stated earlier......I'm trying to find where I think I saw
that....I could be wrong, it could be 3,000 units at new customers, or who
knows what......but I think the new life we need to have brought in is net
new customers.

>From IBM's statement of quarterly earnings on their website under
investor relations:

"Hardware revenues for the Systems and Technology Group totaled $5.0
billion for the quarter, up 7 percent. Revenue growth from S&TG eServer
products was driven by iSeries midrange servers, which increased 25
percent; pSeries UNIX servers, an increase of 15 percent; and xSeries
servers, which increased 11 percent. Revenues from the zSeries mainframe
product decreased 4 percent compared with the year-ago period. Total
delivery of zSeries computing power, which is measured in MIPS (millions
of instructions per second), increased 18 percent. In addition to
eServers, revenues from Storage Systems and Microelectronics increased
11 percent and 14 percent, respectively."

So it is in dollars, not units.

Is that dollars or UNITS?  Yes, there is a difference.

I'ld like to see some unit sales trends...the same kinda stats we see
from
the auto manufacturers
that's published monthly in WSJ would be nice...it's a nice break down
by
model types...

But 24% is impressive.

Any of it to new people that have never been on a 400 before?

iSeries - we've had more GM's than Steinbrenner's Yankee's...
