Oh, I know all about those "little guys"... I been doing
business with them for the last 20 years. They have sent
three kids all the way through college. They are the "lost"
accounts I refer to.

They remain IBM customers no matter how badly IBM treats them.

The "only" small accounts I ever lost, were from going out
of business. I have never lost to another hardware supplier,
even back when there "were" other hardware suppliers.

well - the one customer i'm thinking of makes a hdw purchase every
5 years or so, and so far I can count about $400-500k in purchases over
20 years. Multiply that by the tens of thousands of small companies
who buy occasionally.
