  Midrange-nontech probably better, if one were so inclined.  But 
the [lack of] marketing is one of the /lack of investment/ issues 
that ensures the system remains niche, and one of the costly and 
significant changes that would be required.  Beyond that, just look 
at any past discussion.  Almost always implying that without useless 
/bling/ plus making the OS and development tools effective 
giveaways, how the system is marketed by IBM will not matter because 
nobody will pay so much for something that is not /pretty/ or 
already /sexy/, esp. when they can get Linux /free/ and various 
other cheaper hardware that runs all of the /sexy/ OS.
