Steve,

Similar to what Scott said, this has been a problem for some time, yet the
IBM i survives.

Of course, we can complain about global services, too. But none of our
complaining restores the former glory of the AS/400 to IBM i.

How about some talk on public forums (outside of midrange-L) about how
amazing the IBM i is for business? Let's stir up some noise about IBM i.
Stop mentioning the AS/400, which apparently, as Mark points out, that makes
people think it is old!

We live in a new world. If people can't adapt, then at least they should
have the courtesy to stop whining.

Trevor -

Let me remind you that IBM made 55% of their 2007 revenue from consulting
services.

System p generates tons of consulting revenue for IBM Global Services.

I would venture a guess that System i generates hardly any consulting
revenue for IBM, other than those systems that Global Services (poorly, in
the opinion of one of my former clients) manages on behalf of their
customers.
