1000 units at $1.00 each = $1000 revenue
1250 units (25% volume growth) @ $0.75 each (lower price) = $937.50
revenue

"*CM Note:*

25 percent volume growth . . . definitely a nice uptick in sales. Volume

is far different from revenue, of course, especially as the price of
small systems edges lower. "

Now I am more confused. What is "volume", if not revenue?

Booth,

Where are you being told that IBM is not selling anything?

Read some of Mark Shearer's words here:
http://blogs.systeminetwork.com/isnblogs/maxedout/

"In my first two and half years in System i, I got an awful lot of
feedback
from clients that they wanted to pay for what they use, that they
wanted us
to improve the price-to-value ratio . . . and we relaunched our entire
entry-level product line back in April -- that ultimately drove more
than 25
percent volume growth last year in System i."

premise that nothing happens until a salesman sells something.

I agree, there is an exciting story to sell. But where are the
sales?
Why isn't IBM selling something?
