    I looked at this article and saw an awful lot of IBM biases myself
along with ALOT of inconsistancies between their figures.  Look at the
one place where they have the best selling software part and compare
its figures with the figures under the subcategories "Best selling
DBM", etc.  I think its funny that they can have totally different
figures for the same package, in the same year, from the same survey.
I would really like to see reprinted in full the survey that they took
their figures from.
