".....1) Not bashing El Reg. I just pointing out that IBM and Reg are separate entities that do not speak for each. 2) This is a nuanced point so I don't except you to understand it...." So, just more evasion of the question why is it not a valid roadmap? Could it be because it pokes a big hole in your drivel? Don't tell me, it's "meaningless" or "laughable", right? There's a word for that - denial!

In fact, your pointless denial of everything that demonstrates your ignorance is getting very boring. Howabaout we just concentrate on one argument at a time to give it a chance to penetrate the mainframe world - where is the Power6+? If IBM never has slippage, and they bring out chips like "clockwork", what happened to the Pee6+? I await your evasive, denial-packed dribblings with unseasonal glee.
