RE: Prometheus

The p5 is successful and it's system software ( DB2 ) is sold per user.

IBM makes money and the customers are buying a lot of p5s. A good deal all
around, no?

I don't know if it is still true Steve - but for many many years the p
series lost money big time.  It was the revenues form the I series that kept
it going.  It would not surprise me that much if it was still the case.

I know I'm going to regret asking this - but just what _do_ you like about
the System i?  I don't recall ever seeing anything in your notes other than
complaints about the capabilities/horsepower/price/etc.
