Regardless, lets make this about the great work Frank has always done for this community, the product and IBM and not a complaining session!! He deserves much better than that!

Frank spoke to TUG in Toronto tonight and received a standing ovation at the end of his talk.

Couple of things he mentioned:

a) He has 45 years with IBM - he could have retired on full pension 15 years ago!
b) With the convergence of the systems he would have had to talked more and more about AIX and Linux - it doesn't interest him to do that.
c) He gets a severance package as well as his pension
and d) IBM will give him a "future career" education grant - which he claims he'll use to persue his racing career!

Given a) or c) alone I'd have been long gone. Heck I hung on for 12 months more than I really wanted to in the hope of a package that never came!!
