More Business.

No. Even games are serious business, not to mention applications like
image processing, DTP, GPS and maps, CAD, etc.
IT business is not equal to financial data processing.
BTW: your statement "I can do more with my mainframe than you can do
with your PC" was completely misplaced. Yes, I can agree with the above,
at least for the following analyzis. So?
10 years ago I had the same number of PCs on my desktop (1) and the
above was also true as today. My point was: 10 years ago there were more
mainframe shops than today. Number of PCs is rather <g> growing, number
of mainframes is shrinking. Power of single machine is obviously
growing, but it doesn't prove growth of mainframe market.
A secretary used 10 years ago word processor, email program and
spreadsheet. Nowadays she use ...almost exactly same set of application,
exactly the same NUMBER of them: one. Number of MIPS in her PC grew up
significantly. Can we talk about growth IN THIS CONTEXT?
That's why I described statement about MIPS growth as a smokescreen
masking sad truth: mainframe world is shrinking.
