A comparison: Lets say that every 18 months for 40+ years the cost of
producing socks falls by 50%. At some point everyone just has too many
socks, regardless of what the fashion mavens say & do. At that point
socks sales dollar volumes would have to fall. Great management could
not overcome that simple economic reality.

Well that certainly makes a lot of sense, but I'm not sure how it applies
here. IBM's prices, (from what I've seen), are pretty steep and I don't
believe that they've captured so much of the market that everyone has too
many AS/400's. In fact, if that was the case wouldn't there be so many
AS/400's out there that I would be jumping for joy?

In my opinion, it seems to be less a factor of less sales dollars for the
same number of units as it is simply less units being sold. But I could
be wrong. =)
