Thanks, that was well thought out response. But, wouldn't IBM selling it's mainframe database computing beyond the mainframe into the server market and internet based computing, as I'm sure they will, be more a threat then say CRMC, SEBL, and ITWO for attracting newer companies, given the IBM name? Also, IBM's mainframe database offering will attract the very companies that still have mainframes that are going to be using the net as procurement conduit, ala the B2B movement, will it not? Greg
