Drop dead.

IBM's legal response to PSI's counter is dissected, and it's pretty much
IBM
saying "it's our game, our ball, our rules, and we're taking our ball and
going home."
Good-bye, FLEX-ES. You never had a chance, PSI. And Hercules? Don't
even
think about it.
Ray,
IBM is layin' it down. This will have a chilling effect on the future of
mainframes. IBM is sowing the seeds of mainframe destruction. It'll take
30-40 years, but if they lock all other PCM's out of the game, the game will
end. To quote another famous Ray, "Hit the ro-oad Jack, and don'tcha come
back no more no more no more no more....".
Regards,
Tom Conley
