<<.IBM does sooooo many other things far better than manufacturing hardware...At what point do they finally say "uncle"?>> Looking at the Annual report, IBM not hurting much So the personal systems loss is 2 or 4% pre-tax. They have paid all the employees and management and other costs. And since they tend to sell solutions, what better way than to include their own P/C's which will need maintenance, replacement. ? If a Committee votes whether to end production of IBM PC now, it would probably be a 'No" vote. Dell is turning up the heat each day tho, so IBM P/C profits are going to get worse, not better. They will have to guess when and if the loss will approach $1bil/yr. Who is the one man in IBM .that can make the decision, end the ERA. ? My suggestion is they don't end the name- just have Dell build the units (deep blue?) and slap an IBM logo on them. They are going to have those $26 bil worth of IBM parts that Dell is buying inside them anyway. This would bring up a sticky point, where would Dell build them and with what employees.? So I guess Management in both companies have decisions to make. Lets get the suffering over with, make an announcement at the July meeting. 50 bucks here we come.(G) Sig ( may have got a bit carried away here)
