Hi,

Yes, they should rather have publish the story that IBM's IBMLINK is now
down for how long ?   A week...

So you want to merge 4000 Servers on to ONE IBM box and IBM them selves
can not even keep their support system up..

It's still down .. The system that all the IBM customers uses every day.

Note: All this sounds like another Gonzalez story.... Did you see the
letter Gonzalez wrote to the Judiciary committee yesterday ?

It's probably largely offset by the bonuses the PR people are going to
receive for getting this much attention drawn to it.
