 I can't resist following up my own posting. 

 It's admirable of IBM to openly admit they blew it with the
RT. It's unconscionable of them to imply that the _RT customers_
blew it by purchasing the machines!

  In case anyone thinks this is sour grapes, I'd like to point out
that I've never purchased RT hardware.
