You know how nebulous IBM is with numbers, but I am told that they met 
their estimates, which they failed to do in the second and third quarters.

Also, I am to understand that AS/400 dominated LotusSphere this week in 
Orlando.  There was an AS/400 blimp, and the AS/400 raffle gift for 
attendees was a bright yellow Corvette with black leather seats!

Apparently the IBM gestapo was pissed off, because all they want to talk 
about is the stupid, pathetic Tragic Box.
