Jerry,

I am trying to decipher the impact of the One Percent Club right now.
This is MOST definitely one of the reasons that System i should be in
demand for business. The quandary is this - from a business perspective,
if you ARE in the One Percent Club, why would you ever tell anyone?
Since it is a business secret that gives you a competitive edge, why
would you advertise that you belonged to the One Percent Club?

So, the One Percent Club is truly a secret organization. My plan is to
determine how to publicize it, without impacting the "members". How do
we make it the Club to which everyone WANTS to belong?

Trevor
