Tip, The reason they can't is because there are too many competitors around, and some like Computer Sciences or EDS or Cambridge Technology Associates or Logicon or Perot Systems do a better job than IBM. So, they have a niche with lame brained main frame hardcore players. And they are playing that niche to the max. They can make better margins than in pcs because there is no margin in pcs any more. But they can't touch mainframe profit margins, and that is the part of the business that is rapidly declining. Also, all IT budgets go down before Y2K and services will be the first thing hit as managers use their in-house expertise first. MB
