Dan, Re: "Look at DEC/Compaq Alpha, HP PA-RISC, Intergraph MIPS, Data General, Sequent, etc., etc. All brought down trying to compete with commodity high volume COTS hardware." Actually, three of them were brought down by Intel. Another one was bought by IBM. wbmw

Dan, >No company has made money selling high end computer hardware for quite a few years. IBM and SUN have made money selling services and software for high end computer systems - the "blades" to the high end computer system's "razors." Too sweeping of a statement. IBM and Sun have (I know that IBM's services division is its best money maker now). Where else would Sun have made all their money in the late 90s, plus 2000? I don't thing their service division is that renowned. And, IBM definitely makes money in mainframes, probably also in RS, or whatever they call them now. Tony
