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.

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 ...
