Servers and mainframes that push the envelope every few years. About anything else idk, I don't see those parts of the company.

Yep that's pretty much it. I have a massive amount of respect for the IBM systems buisness and the people that are a part of it. They are the last surviving computer company, and everyone I've ever met involved in that part of the business genuinely seems to love their jobs and have a real passion for what they do. The rest of the company could all disappear and I don't think anybody would mind all that much. I've never heard of anybody passionate about working with or on anything besides the core systems. It all looks like consultancy and sales bullshit from the outside.
