Sorry, I take that back.

That was EARNINGS, not revenues. You can sell a lot of stuff at a loss and
still make big revenue numbers. But earnings increases are much harder and
much more important to the market; the stock jumped over 6% this morning on
the news.

Subject: IBM 24% Rise in Revenues

IBM pre-announced a 24% rise in revenues for 07Q4.

And while they don't break out System i anymore, I can tell you that the
System i was a big player in that number. LOTS of boxes were moved in the
fourth quarter.
