I love it! I'd add one twist of irony maybe? Instead of the logo I'd pan down the hall to their data center and zoom in on their iSeries in the back of the room. Maybe the nerdy guy would be saying something like "This is what we run on now. None of those other solutions *pointing to the racks in the front of the room* have ever given us what we need." " Wanna see Linux in a production environment?" Maybe he could walk past a 20-something whiz kid in the hall picking up spilled nickles. --------------------------------------------------------- Booth Martin http://www.MartinVT.com Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------- -------Original Message------- From: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Date: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 12:27:21 PM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: RE: More anti-midrange propaganda Another campaign that I would like to see would be: The familiar 'pixie dust' conference room where everyone is discussing their needs for the latest computing marvel. A new computer that is virus free, no down time, runs multiple operating environments, will accomodate the latest and most modern computer languages, intergrate with all of their other systems, yada yada yada. Then one of the nerdy looking conference attendees pipes in and says, "Hold it, there is already a system that does all of this....then it flashes to a screen displaying the iSeries against a blank background and displays <LOGO>IBM eseries</Logo> iSeries system.
