I could have sworn the discussion was concerning microprocessors.

As long as its possible to make money integrating systems, I'm sure
that IBM will be integrating them, and now that super==big==lots of
hardware under one roof, I'm sure that IBM will continue to be a player
in the arena of "super"computers.

If it gets too expensive for IBM to integrate systems with hardworking
US engineers in forbiddingly remote US locations, it will simply move
the work to Bangalore, or some similar location, to the extent that it
hasn't already. Thus, I am confident that IBM will continue to be a
purveyor of high profile clusters to high profile customers.

As to IBM's presence in the microprocessor arena, I am much less
certain, and the fact that IBM has to count the list multiple ways to
downplay the importance of Intel pretty much tells the trend.

That is to say, whatever Keith intended to say about IBM and
microprocessors (the topic at hand), it was either incorrect,
misleading, off-topic, or said the exact opposite of what he intended.
Take your pick.
