During that time, unfortunately, billions and billions of atoms have been waiting -- along with thousands of IBM business partners -- on IBM marketing to move on a credible marketing scheme for the IBM System i platform.

Upon hearing this news, one IBM business partner, who did not want his name revealed, remarked "We're been dying out here waiting for some real marketing support on the best computing platform in the industry, and now we discover that IBM's spent the last 20 years counting the number of angels that can fit on the head of a pin!"
