That's an > $8.5M loss from one point of view. Only if the prospect WOULD have bought the zSeries. Plus, if 3 iSeries can do what one zSeries does, then the zSeries is overpriced. See, what I'm getting at is that IBM is trying to keep its profit margin by selling the customer a more expensive solution. This is inevitably bad business. Joe
