  So true, Glenn.  When it comes to moving money it's
  no wonder most ATMs in the world run OS/2.  IBM
  truly knows how to do "plumbing".  Too bad they can't
  sell.  Too bad they haven't become an ombudsman
  against desktop monopoly.
  
  Someone's 'tag line' I saw recently said it all; apologies for ripping
  it off or misquoting...

  difference between excellence and success."
