Re: Buell Duncan

["Al Barsa" <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have to agree with Anne.  Buell has possibly been the best GM that AS/400
has ever had.  He understands a vast amount of the technical, and we he
doesn't understand, he's asks if he needs to.  He is savvy to BPs, and has
a keen understanding of the needs of customers and employees.  I for one am
sorry to see him go.

Cecilia Marrese is his marketing right hand.

I don't necessarily agree with a company that plays musical chairs with
executives every few years, but this is IBM's policy.

The iSeries is a great product, and Buell has been an outstanding Captain
of this ship.

so, the rats are leaving the sinking ship...

Leif, actually,  Buell is "handing over" a product ship that he has helped
make stronger than ever!  He has put excellent people in place for
marketing and sales that will take the business where we all want it to go!
