Worth reading.  It's no different from the fact that I recently purchased 
2-512 MB sticks of PC-2700 DDR memory for $55 each.  That's over a Gig of it 
for a total of $110.

The way IBM's recommendations were NOT used and substituted without their 
permission for OLD deprecated yet costly alternatives is only equaled by the 
fact that if I want to buy 64 MB stick of 72 pin RAM, if I can find it at 
all, it's going to cost me well well over $110.  Or two 32 MB's of 72 pin.   
How many are going to go out and purchase a 64 MB stick of 72 pin when any 
"LUGGER" in the world would say "Jeez man, just upgrade the mobo/CPU/memory, 
all of it for under $300 new.  Different ball game then huh?  
A very well carefully worded set of documents.  
Wonder who paid for it?  The most interesting fact is how M$ outperformed 
Linux when Linux was only suggested and not used?  Some benchmark.
