  Yes, they do. My company does a lot of work on/with RS/6000s, and IBM
has never let us down on a shipping date. They won't always get it here
yesterday, though....
  When that jerk laid the "first-tier OEM" line on me, I didn't know
whether to laugh or call his momma names. IIRC, I just hung up, and
then made a call to a friend whose wife is a VP in customer support
there. It's a pity, though, because a Dell rep 5 years ago would never
have treated a customer that way.
