I have absolutely no inside information, but I did a Google search prior to the hurricane to determine New Orleans's largest employers (out of personal curiosity). Hibernia National Bank is one of them, and they do have a mainframe (according to another Google search). I would think there'd have to be others in the region.
I have no idea what's going on there. Obviously they've had branches affected, but beyond that it's a mystery to me. Thank you to all who are helping in the hurricane recovery (including many of my colleagues in the area, I would guess). Regarding Bill's "President" (in quotes) comment, I took that to be a reference to the fact that President Bush is still vacationing in Crawford as I write this. I can understand the (apolitical) frustration. Doesn't seem consistent with a good DR plan. Hibernia's CEO and CIO are probably real busy. - - - - - Timothy F.
