Hey, check it out!

One of the M$ alternatives is my beloved iSeries!

Probably won't happen though, I recently read (according to an insider 
at IBM) that IBM doesn't want to market the iSeries, which is an 
extremely stable, secure and scalable system.  Why?  iSeries doesn't 
sell services!  IBM makes lots of $$$ of supporting M$ software.

Maybe that's the key to financial success!  Write really bad software 
and then make people pay you to fix your own problems.  Wait a 
minute...hasn't that been done already?
