the reliable harware of the 3000 for a little over 8 years now, and I know
many of you have for much longer.  As long as that doesn't change, they can
call it the Carly Fiorina Machine as far as I am concerned.  Thanks for the

I wouldn't worry about that "400", IBM have renamed the AS/400...now known
as the iSeries -- while the RS/6000 has become the pSeries, and the
System/390 has become the zSeries. Somehow I can't see all those "True
Blues" moving to these new names in a hurry...even if they can remember the
distinction between them.

Best regards,
Conrad
