Ohhh ! OK, gottcha - yep they are setting themselves up to be a major PARTNER 
in this arena (I say
partner, in the way that Microsoft cannot be...)

is.>

That's true, but that is in relation to an OS. I don't think that necessarily 
applies to the
iSeries because the OS is not open and I really don't think we want it to be to 
the extent that
"Apple/X" is :-)

<Yeah, seems like more than a few people were disappointed in Jobs' 
announcements, this year...>

Yep, they always tend to be MAJOR with something really big, and all they could 
really do this
year was the flat panel iMac which everyone and their brother new was coming... 
 Guess you can't
always be "on" :-)
