Hi Everyone,

iSeriesNetwork.com's "News Wire Daily" had a story about some
unsolicited publicity for our favorite box: "*i5 Gets Radio Play from
Garrison Keillor* <http://iseries.pentontech.com/t?ctl=285B2:122363>" 
which went on to say "Last weekend, Keillor broadcast live from the Mayo
Civic Center in Rochester, a town he identified as "Home of IBM's i5
computer system.""

and

"Okay, so it was a very brief and innocuous mention, but it was 
broadcast to more than 4 million listeners by 580 public radio stations 
around the country. That's significantly more exposure than most of 
IBM's marketing efforts for the platform."

It says Garrison does his homework when his show visits a town, but it 
got me wondering what the "average" man-on-the-street in Rochester, MN 
knows about the i5.  Or does everyone there work for IBM?
