Well Paul, you forgot to mention one very important aspect which probably
escaped you. Connectivity to lager IBM main frames.  Remember that IBM sells
business machines to businesses. They HAVE sold 5000 of the new ps2s to 
United Airlines, another 5,000 to Travelers Insurance, and yet another 8000
to American Airlines.  So you see Paul, because they connect to the main
frames, companys will purchase these machines, whether or not you purchase
one, is of little concern to IBM.
