IBM seems, in some ways, to want to get out of the OS and hardware business. This may not be the case, but is an easy conclusion to draw when IBM keeps increasing prices and doesn't seem to "push" the platform like it used to. Good thing that I'm a Linux bigot. It runs on just about anything and is fairly consistent whether it is on an Atom (Intel netbook processor) or a pSeries or a zSeries. -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
