Re: IBM selling PC division

["Booth Martin" <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wonder what that includes?  Sales and marketing, or manufacturing?  What
about research and development?  The PC part of the business can't be a very
competitive division when one realizes the overhead burden the PC division
must have to bear.

Subject: IBM selling PC division
 
I just heard this on CNBC. They said it's not a done deal yet.
 
If IBM is selling the PC part of its business, might they do that to
iSeries?
 
I think they said the PC part was a $10B piece of the business. How does
iSeries compare with that?
 
Thanks,
