Having been close to quite a lot of IBM hardware at levels I'm familiar
with, I would perhaps cant that slightly and say that IBM often manage
to bring to market products that have not had their technical excellence
dulled by cost concerns.

It's a pity that the result is a product that costs too much for what 
it effectively is.  8(
