Obviously, you have never dealt with IBM Global Services.

Not on a personal level, no.

With them it is $10k-, $20k- and $50K-ing you to death.

Quite like Microsoft for corporate services; they give you a nice sales
pitch, then tack on "options". At my company we tried SUN, and they did much
the same. We tried HP, and they did it somewhat less so we went with them.

My point, though, was how often companies have billing "errors" (always in
THEIR favor). Evidently _fraud_ is now a way of life for many companies.
