What about them? I got my boss’s OK and got a servpac box out and went through it. I did not see a singe dvd/cd in the box and did not see it marked in the inventory.

No its not as I can’t remember getting a single ptf on a tape for a couple of years, I think the number is two years ago but my mind could be wrong. I asked my boss about getting PTF’s in . What I ddid not know was that there is some service center that has done it for us in the past at a cost. > > Company decided to migrate to Windows just because installation tapes are no > longer distributed. > Great reason, especially Microsoft does not distribute tapes. > It's really hard to believe it. > > > Auditor is calling IBM to "authenticate" the delivery - a box with tapes, > books, leaflets ancd DVDs. > What can he hear?

Not quite fun an armored car there is a guard there all the time and yes it is slow. As far as senseless each culture does something their unique way, I have been brought up to accept other peoples culture and help- them enrich it even further if that is what they want. If they don’t then we accept them as they are. > > > > > I think the 43xx box was the death of IBM, thats my opinion.

That is what happened in the US starting around 1995+-1 You no longer bought CPU’s from IBM you bought them from third parties. These third parties were made up of mostly ex IBMers. I asked a question of one of the third party people and was told I could no longer talk to IBM directly unless I had a contract in one hand and a check in the other hand I could not talk directly to a IBM with a technical question. This happened to me at two different customers, so I guessing its close to the truth. I get around these idiotic demands by calling IBM friends directly and yes it costs me a dinner every so often when he/she is in my city to I am their city. Its the price of dealing with IBM now days. > > > I have heard rumors of departments that undergo lie detector tests on an > > irregular basis. > And you write about it? Are you allowed to disclose it? I talked with my boss today and heard the real story (according to him) there was a department that had disclosed some information they shouldn’t have, the number of lie detector test was around 10 people out of 70, so it was not the hole department, I apologize for saying incorrect information, > Not to mention how it is related to delivery media… This was the auditing department and they are the ones that open all the boxes from IBM and OEM and go through them.
