Maybe not with version x.0, but version x.1 runs a background process
qualifying leads, and it can find you, IF IT WANTS TO. That's why the
calculations rated the supercomputer at 16318 iPads, instead of 16384.
If your lead does qualify, it doesn't need to bother informing you;
just issue a work order and an invoice.
But you don't seem to understand that IBM
and other mainframe guys
don't _want_ to be in thee mass market with that big hardware...
I don't claim to understand IBM.
They entered MICRO-computers late,
and now seem to have abandoned that market.
Is IBM motivated by capitalism? Or world domination?
How many mainframes will it take for the InfoSPhere?
