Re: Community College Training

Ken,

The difference is that Community Colleges don't follow the "build it and 
they will come" philosophy.  In other words, they provide a service to 
meet a demand, not, try to create a demand by providing a service.

Now, if i5's were used in community colleges as tools to show how 
computers may help in:
- Enterprise Resource Planning. (think classes for APICS certification)
- Automated General Ledger
- QS/9000 certification (I favor the Domino based EtQ package)
- etc
That might be a way to provide a service to the community colleges 
"customers" and, at the same time, create an interest in the i5.

                 I'll be watching the responses to your request. IMHO, 
this is at the root of problems for the IBM midrange line
                 of computers.
                 No amount of advertisments, an last minute gimmicks will 
equal the impact of students talking 'I5'
                 coming out of College/University.
