    by Edward Hurley, Editor

    The other week, three people hit me up for money during one short trip on the subway in Boston.

    A younger man asked me for some cash because he was trying to get to Norwalk, Conn. A lady asked me for a couple of bucks because she was going to the hospital. Finally, an older fellow asked if I could just spare some change. He didn't bother coming up with a reason.

    I did give one of them some cash. Now, before you start thinking I am very naive, let me explain. I know their excuses are usually bogus but I figure if three different people ask me for money, one of them really needs it. I just hope I gave the right person the cash.

    I ended out giving money to the man who was trying to get to Norwalk, Conn. You see when I was younger, I often didn't have much money in my pocket. Once, I had to walk four miles home because I didn't have bus fare. So that guy's story had resonance for me.

    The reason I bring up this story is I am about to ask you to do something a lot of people ask you to do: take a survey. All I need is for you to click here and let us know your take on the future of the data center.

    Like that young man's excuse, I hope my reason for asking resonates with you. By taking this survey about your data center needs, you are helping us serve you and your colleagues better. I thank you for your time.
