RE: Prometheus

<<your proposing IBM market a system that is a dog when it runs VB client 
code? XML based web services need a lot of cpu to parse the xml streams. 
Will apps that use web services also run poorly? If so, the mini i5 does 
not sound like a good idea.>>

Steve,

Who really cares about this if they are running a green screen 
application? The point is to get the SMALL customers in the SMB space to 
get current with the technology, and then they can move forward. I can 
name you half a dozen companies who are still running in the S/36 
environment because their software works and don't want to spend a pile of 
money. The OS software currency fees are exorbitant, so they would be 
better off geting an iSis and just relicensing the new OS software.
