When I started with computers in 1968, IBM sold very good hardware, gave
away the software, and charged for education and support. They became
rich on that model.
Now, IBM is going to a model where they make good hardware (z9) that
runs a free OS (Linux) very well and they charge for consulting. Will
they become rich again on that model?

Sorry, Stephen, but could you elaborate more on this? I'm not sure what
you're driving at.
