really conflicted about (almost) doing the reverse (on Alaska). One of the Boyd "people" is back from Afghanastan for a couple weeks and will be holding Boyd "beer" night in the basement of Ft. Myers O-club this week (Boyd would regularly hold court there)... I use to sponsor Boyd briefings at IBM. I also used to sponsor (IBM) "Friday after work" in San Jose, frequently (half priced pictures of anchor steam) at Eric's on Cottle across from the main plant site. Eric's is still there ... but much of the plant site has been plowed under and the rest is no longer IBM. I'm no longer in San Jose ... but I try and stop by Eric's every year when I go back for "Hacker's" (silicon valley invitation only tech conference, for a time I was the only IBMer, early conferences, people could bring unannounced products for others to play with; culture has significantly changed since early days, been a long time since Apple developers show up with unannounced products for competitors to play with). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hackers_Conference Old post mentioning Boyd (posted to IBM-MAIN) http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007c.html#25 includes several old emails mentioning Boyd ... including a "Friday's" email notice mentioning that I have hardcopies handouts of Boyd's presentation http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007c.html#email830512 1998 sat. photo of old plant site, 85 running horizontal across lower half of the picture and cottle rd running vertical across left side of picture, railroad running diagnally across upper right, "IBM" plant site still mostly intact in the middle.
