What's up with IBM?

Re: Dell and GTW just have to be looking over their shoulders at Axis right now....

I don't think Axis is the focus of their attention right now.

Does anyone know what's up with IBM? Having announced that they are leaving storefront retail and moving to the Dell/Gateway model, their direct mail web site has 1 S series system, 3 E series systems, and their entire "business PC line" is a PIII 500.

Is something about to replace all that? or are they leaving the retail PC business altogether?

A visit to Best Buy today showed a number of IBM PC models in stock (Athlon 550 through 700).

Did they decide to stick with retail?

SPryGuy - re: "Dell and GTW just have to be looking over their shoulders at Axis right now who are offering 8 different AMD configurations, 6 of which are built around the "spry Athy". "

Who the heck is AXIS - some garage shop ?

I've never even heard of them as Tier 3 PC company.

Come back to earth.
