what with pSeries sales up by 14% in 2005 and iSeries down by 1%, you
can just about prove that lower prices in the computer business will
increase sales. In a way the only hope for this system of ours is for
i5 sales to drop further, forcing IBM shareholders to fire those
responsible for the premium pricing of the system, followed by a
decision to allow i5/OS to run with the governor off on p5 hardware.
