RE: The One Percent Club

This is interesting from that interview,

"It's good because the System i customers can talk to the others about what 
they are doing. There are more banks in the world using System i than any other 
system. That's more than 16,000 banks that use our system. These are individual 
entities, not a total that includes each bank's branch locations. There are 
some absolutely huge banks using System i. 

When I am in Asia, talking with these bankers, they are talking in terms of 
having 100 billion accounts and growing to between 150 and 200 billion 
accounts. It's mind-boggling."

So with that in mind, and all that potential business, why the h**l aren't IBM 
doing more to promote the System i??

Confused of Amsterdam

Great read on Dr. Frank's view of things (at the moment).

As for promoting of the i campaign, how about we start by calling 
ourselves the The One Percent Club (Angus??). (Even though we may not all 
be there yet, it is definately a worthy goal for us to pursue.) It's a 
great way to promote our platform in simple terms that even those in 
business 101 can understand.
