Hi, David:

I think Steve's comment should be followed by, "I'll be here all week,
come see the act again and bring your friends."

Darrell,

I dont follow. Why be a cheerleader for IBM as they overcharge you and
drive your skillset into oblivion? Sales are down 6 quarters in a
row. 2 more quarters of down sales and IBM might pull the plug on the
system. We dont know what will be done with i5/OS. ( that
uncertainty itself is probably hurting sales ) The decent thing to do
would be to freeze development and sell it at AIX prices on the p5.
But they might calc there is more money in telling customers to
migrate and increasing prices on those who stay.
