What makes it even worse is that I jumped on the initial information and forwarded it around, got executive interest and follow-up questions and now am looking silly that I can not provide any additional information or appropriate answers to their questions!
The FAQ was great, but generates TONS of questions. Bob Richards VP, Enterprise Technologist Enterprise Technology Infrastructure SunTrust Banks, Inc.

Jaffe Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 11:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: zIIPs Snippage Seems like IBM has had trouble lately getting z-related announcements "out the door" on time. (This one was supposed to be January 24.) Remember the debacle with the z9 announcement? People were scratching their heads for days. Some went ahead and printed their articles. (At the time, those articles appeared to be preemptive!) Others were afraid to say _anything_ until IBM released the "official" announcement. What should have been a well-timed, well-coordinated "splash" wasn't. (Good thing they weren't fighting a fire in Malibu!) IBM's marketing department really needs to fix this problem ASAP. As things stand now, they give the impression that they're "scrambling". And, maybe they are ...
