I was initially confused at your $45Billion in revenue. I believe the total revenue for IBM is $78Billion. But then you said plus hardware.

PS - people should know that the Mainframe is far from dead though. The purpose of the mainframe is shifting to more Client/Server oriented services (i.e. Enterprise Web Servers, large Notes Messaging engines, etc.)

Warren, I couldn't agree more.
IBM used to "throw in" alot of software and services with their mainframe offerings. So the true cost was higher. Comparisons with todays mainframes are misleading.
