AIX was IBM's flavor of UNIX.  It used to mean Advanced Ibm uniX. \n\n1) From IBM's own wiki on AIX\n\n"AIX is based on standard System V. Most Systems Administrators tend to "fall in love" with the first UNIX version they get to know. They assume all other UNIX or Linux versions are odd, quirky, plain wrong, or bad. But this is not really the case and once you are on to your third or fourth UNIX version you see the common ground between versions is large, each version has its own strengths. and that the prime area of differences is the system admin tools." http://www-941.ibm.com/collaboration/wiki/display/WikiPtype/Home\n\n2) Wikipedia\n\n"AIX (Advanced Interactive eXecutive) is a proprietary operating system developed by IBM based on UNIX System V. Before the product was ever marketed, the acronym AIX originally stood for Advanced IBM UNIX." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIX_operating_system

No brainier answer: The IBM\nIf you could put a blindfold on and handle both machines you could feel the inherent quality of the IBM. I have tried both and the durability goes to IBM T60 (specifically the 2623D6U).\n\nReliability again goes to IBM as the meat and potatoes T series is the foundation of business class notebook computers worldwide.\n\nI wish you the best in your decision but after EXTENSIVE reading on the web, asking sales persons and product reps, hands on testing and eventually putting my money where my keyboard is - I can recommend the IBM over the sleeker modern cool looking Sony.

IBM Introduces 'World Community Grid'\n\nPublic invited to donate idle computer time for global humanitarian effort\n\nARMONK, N.Y., November 16, 2004— IBM, along with representatives of the world's leading science, education and philanthropic organizations, today launched World Community Grid, a global humanitarian effort that applies the unused computing power of individual and business computers to help address the world's most difficult health and societal problems.\n\nWorld Community Grid will harness the vast and unused computational power of the world's computers and direct it at research designed to help unlock genetic codes that underlie diseases like AIDS and HIV, Alzheimer's and cancer, improve forecasting of natural disasters and support studies that can protect the world's food and water supply. Anyone can volunteer to donate the idle and unused time on a computer by downloading World Community Grid's free software and registering at www.worldcommunitygrid.org.

IBM had this problem.  It became too top heavy.  This happens when the company has too many managers and too few people to carry out the work.  Stress levels increase and you end up with a huge attrition rate of the people that actually do the work.  Yet the managers are "proactive" and keep hiring people to do the work.  Projects run over budget and the managers blame the work-force.  They never see that they are top heavy till it is too late.  Think how much bigger IBM would have been!

I swear by IBM laptops. I normally hate the keyboards on laptops but the IBM's have a keyboard more like a "regular" keyboard than any other laptop I've used.  My office, however, buys Dell and they seem to hold up fine.  Still like my own IBM better.

The Application System/400 (also known as AS/400), now System i, is a type of minicomputer produced by IBM. It was first produced in 1988. It was then renamed to the eServer iSeries in 2000 as part of IBM's e-Server branding initiative. Now with the global move of the server and storage brands to the System brand with the Systems Agenda, the family has been renamed yet again to System i in 2006, with the POWER5-based members of the series being called the System i5.\n\nAlso it means Autonomous system numbers in Internet Border Gateway protocol. AS400 is a public AS used in Internet. Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_system_(Internet) for more info.

You need to be more clear.\nDid the company lose the money?\nOr did shareholders lose money?\n\nSirius is a good example of a company that lost money. Anyone that owns IBM shares are underwater.
