I've not talked with my rep yet, but it almost looks like my S20 and S30 are
going from almost worthless to completely worthless (as far as trade-in
value) - if I do not make a 1/2 million dollar decision in the middle of the
fiscal year.

Six month lead time to obsolete my machines?

I think this has zero impact on those of us USING this stuff - it just means

that we bought it just before IBM dropped the sales of it, which is not 
unusual for us.  Our hardware sales reps are real good at selling our 
management on equipment they are trying to get rid of - they have succeeded 
at it before many times in the past & doubtless will in the future.  So long

as we get decent bang for the buck from continuously improved stuff, I care 
not much.
