Re: Some fodder for marketing, perhaps

Uh....not to nit pick, but what are they spending all that
"money" on ???

I have been associated with this midrange thing a right long
time and I seriously question IBM "spending money" getting
everybody off dumb terminals. They appear to be dropping support
for twinax and SNA, but that's hardly "spending money".

They seem to have very little direction and it has made a major
impact on the entire midrange market place.

A good many customers have no idea where IBM is headed and it
would appear that, neither does IBM.

I don't consider several name changes of the machine a
"major investment".
