What was it, 'AT&T adds 2000 for iPhone rollout'? Guess I've said it so
many times my fingers hurt. IBM needs a low-end model other than 'null and if

Seems to be moving in that direction...
According to the charts on www.tech-news.com (see "public library"), the
smallest G6 machine (available 2Q99) was a 9672-X17 cycling at 178 MIPS
or 30 MSU. Seven years later, in spite of unprecidented industry-wide
MIPS growth, the smallest z9BC (available 2Q06) is a 2096-A01 cycling at
only 26 MIPS or 4 MSU. I calculate a drop in MSU of about 86%.
