I think this group is fairly willing to bash IBM.  I don't see how the drive
stuff pertains to this future of computing thread.  Neither issue mitigates
the other.

Yes, the price of AS/400 disk drives and current quality issues are
extremely troubling.  Comparing these drive issues to the stability of
Microsoft's operating systems, and current and proposed Internet services is
a bit farfetched.  A shill may be a shill, but this .NET stuff is the mother
of all shills.
