Re: Saving the System i: Fight Rather Than Switch

Joe,

I think you are missing the point of my site/s...
Angus (www.angustheitchap.com) is an opinion site - dedicated to espousing opinion and offering suggestions to IBM for marketing, etc. Not planned as viral - if that happens, nice.
System i for everyone (www.i4everyone.com) is closer to being a viral advertising site - it collects video, images, podcasts and other collateral from everyone who will submit.
iBitsandPieces (www.ibitsandpieces.com) is a place where other ~stuff~ is stored - mostly System i related - that I have been able to collect from various places.
All of these can help people know the System i exists - and THEN we can baffle them with the facts. But, we have to start making noise somewhere.

This is where we start to diverge.  I don't think Trevor's site really
espouses the same concepts you do below.  I think Angus is a viral
advertising site, attempting to win mindshare through gimmickry -- this is a 
very common technique, I grant you, but I'm not sure it applies in the
server world. I respect Trevor's efforts, but I'm not yet a convert to the 
concept of viral advertising for the iSeries.  I think it's because I get
the idea that viral advertising is an implicit concession to the idea that
FACTS can't sell the box.
