OT - IBM

You guys misunderstand. IBM is saying (I believe) that
25% of their sales is "related to e-business" via
services (helping other companies set up thier own "e-business")
and hardware/software sold to those same other companies, when that
HW/SW is to be used as the back-end of that "e-business".
Lou is saying "we provide lots of plumbing and help" related
to e-business being done by IBM's customers.

I don't think they are claiming to gain 25% of their revenues
thru selling stuff over IBM's own internet sites.

I work at IBM as a software engineer so know a bit about IBM's
goals, etc - but of course I can't speak for Big Lou... :-)

BTW, just bought more dell, 5th time in last 4 months,
adding to my LT holdings from early '98...
