Victor, the Barron's piece was trying to make a bear case. When you are analyzing a company as large and as diversified as IBM You can spin it a lot of different ways.
For instance, for years IBM was taken to task for buying back stock instead of investing for the future or for strategic reasons. So they buy PWC which was a huge coup at the price IBM paid and all of the sudden that doesn't count anymore. Take a break Victor, you're hyper-ventilating.

Where was the SEC in year 2000 when I owned over 250 Put contracts, as well as being short IBM stock? I was so sure that the quality of IBM's earnings were poor, and posted my thoughts here many times. The SEC'S tardiness cost me a lot of money. Do I stand a chance of recovering any of my loses?
