Heh, of the limited number of big Mainframe data centers I got to visit, every one had one big red Amdahl box among a vast field of IBM hardware. Once you had enough IBM systems IBM just assumed you were their bitch now and would pay whatever they asked for further systems. The solution was to buy a single Amdahl system thus getting your IBM sales rep summerily replaced with a much humbler one. G.
