I assume this means T3 wants IBM to buy them.

After what happened to PSI they must be feeling so left out ! In any case it 
could be more profitable than quietly fading away.

It's good to see that T3 Technologies has not yet given up the struggle to
bring back competition into the IBM mainframe market.

Or it could be construed as beating a dead horse

I for one, would like to see them succeed.

Given IBM's behavior, T3 and FSI are the only ways one would get a drop and 
play mainframe (vis-à-vis MP3000). Which in my opinion is what it would take to 
go into server farms to have a better one on one competition price wise.

Steve Thompson

I surely hope not.  To the contrary, T3 and FSI (or new competitors yet
unborn) should be viable, growing businesses.  Monopoly is never a good
thing.  IBM doesn't want the hassle of dealing with tiny, barely
profitable (for IBM, that is) small business and ISV users.  Why IBM
won't permit other businesses to serve that limited market I cannot
fathom.

It might be a very long shot for T3 to succeed over IBM's assaults, but
I do applaud T3 for continuing to fight for their rights and ours.  I
wish them every success, and so should each and every one of us here.

If T3 started an internet donations campaign for their legal expenses vs
IBM, I for one would contribute to it and consider it money well spent.
