Re: IBM investment in i

["Alfredo Delgado" <adelgado@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At last month's LUG meeting on the Power merger I asked about prices coming
down. We've wanted more disk space and $30/GB made us hold off. The answer I
got from the IBMer from Rochester was that, at the time, only the 570 had
truly converged i and p part numbers. The 595 would be next in the
convergence process and the low end models like 550 and 520 would not likely
have a single set of part numbers until the end of this year or the
beginning of next year.
