You are a bit misinformed as far as margins are concerned at least as it applies to UIS. IMO - The system margins being enjoyed are better than twice the service margins - and it is difficult to see that changing. That means that as the system revenue decreases service revenue has to increase at a rate of 2X to just MAINTAIN the net. So you can see the hurdle that LW has to overcome to increase profits. Any reason why the expense/interest line continues to get the attention?

PC companies may be a different story.

No way, a service company will have higher margins than mainframe hardware companies. I think Unisys information services gross margin is about 24% versus 48% for hardware. You might have meant the growth rates are higher in service than the hardware which I agree with you.
