Mark - the original claim seemed to be only for Unix, Windows, and OS/2. And it was only for the four UDB products themselves, not any add-ons. The only incorrect implication was that Personal Edition existed everywhere (it's only on OS/2, Windows, and Linux).

OS/390 and AS/400 are not part of the original statement.
