Now before you think IBM merely says: "We don't like x, let's get rid of

Yet from what I heard, they *did,* back in the early stages of S/3

*a better unit-record machine,* not a *small computer,* and it wasn't
until they saw the revenue, and saw that it was competing with DEC,
rather than with IBM's own mainframes, that they embraced what would
become the Midrange line.
