Re: iSeries revenue plummets

What are the aspects of the iSeries that make it the best business machine?? Are those things enough to keep companies buying it in numbers that will keep the platform alive??

Sad to say - They deserve to plummet.

When is the last time you saw any advertising outside of a technical
communication about the I-series (as/400)? TV, Super bowl, non-I-series
magazine.
I have I-series clients that receive no mail, calls, or anything about
I-series. I personally think that the switch years ago from IBM sales reps to
business partners was a cost reduction technique that will ultimately spell the

death of the I-series. Perhaps they don't have the financial where-with-all to
mass-market. It's a shame that the "greatest" business computer will be
extinct without someone selling it. IBM sure isn't.
