Everybody  already know who IBM is and what they do

Nobody   knows  what an AS/400 is or what it does

Right.  How many here, in the choir, know that new machines come in the
front door with a sample www homepage installed and viewable over tcp/ip?
Or that the AS/400 includes server daemons for telnet, ftp, http, pop, and
smtp?  How many people that buy a PC server in the world this week will
even be aware that the AS/400 is a contender?  Or, like Art asked, "64
bit? so? what's in it for me?"
