<<your proposing IBM market a system that is a dog when it runs VB client

Steve,

Who really cares about this if they are running a green screen 
application? The point is to get the SMALL customers in the SMB space to 
get current with the technology, and then they can move forward. I can 
name you half a dozen companies who are still running in the S/36 
environment because their software works and don't want to spend a pile of 
money. The OS software currency fees are exorbitant, so they would be 
better off geting an iSis and just relicensing the new OS software.
