IBM DB2 VIPER

IIBM Canada has been working on that for a least several years. That
group probably doesn't know that there are two IBM product called
UniVerse and UniData.

Even within PowerPC I have found that the group that handles the Power5
processor doesn't really know what is going on with the 970 which Apple
calls a G5.

The basic fact is that IBM bought the U2 line because it is very
profitable.
