That would be to bad. The problem is, that IBM's job is too make money
and in these day you can not do big money with good products. Quality is
expensive and the People want something cheap perhaps just because it's
cheap. Here in Germany there is an electronic discounter wich claims
"costiveness is horny". That is too bad.
