There's a BIG difference between KNOWING that this is THE BEST system out 
there AND actually believing that IBM is going to come through with a real 
marketing schema, and implement it!

HOW MANY MANY MANY MANY times have we been hinted down this path towards 
"our just share of the market, which is 100%..." line of impotent rhetoric 
with nothing to show for it, other than what is called in Marketing 101 - 
reinforcement marketing to those customers you already have???

This string is finito...how about we take it to CPF0000??
