RE: Buell Duncan and Al Zollar - massive relaunch?

Rob,

I agree, the masses (such as they are) are grudgingly accepting the
iseries/lotus koolaid.  but it didn't happen overnight.  even as the
iseries was busting up lotus-bench performance marks, right out of the box,
your average *nix or windows - domino guy was skeptical.  I though most of
the 1st installs were usually large iseries shops replacing server farms.
it took a while for the rest of the lotus community to jump on the
bandwagon.

I do not think that the Lotus port was greeted with yawns outside of our
community.

At LotusSphere, when this happened, IBM pulled out all the stops. Marketed
the iSeries extremely heavy, gave away a cool car, etc.  In fact the lines
of people flocking to the iSeries booth blocked off access to the other
manufacturers and royally vexed them.

I talked to a local IBMer and to business partners.  ISeries are popping
up in all sorts of local customers with the sole purpose of running
Domino.
