Santa Teresa
Ora pro nobis
Anne,
Your stories are as usual interesting and entertaining.
My one exposure to Santa Teresa was an over night stay at the
"Homestead" . IBM gave a dog and pony presentation on the future of
DASD. It was severly cut back due to one person there (This was a
GUIDE managers invitation) being from an OEM . I was hoping to bring
back to my installation some insight but had to report almost
nothing. I asked that the next time that we were invited that the
person not be allowed to attend as I needed information to justify
the extra expense of the "side trip". IIRC the response from GUIDE
was tough luck. While I realize IBM had to treat the OEM person as a
regular person, it cut out any and all information that I could
justify the expense.
My sense was that from then on GUIDE was never asked to come back
because of the OEM vendor. What a shame.
