Hi,
I was actually trying to change the subject away from Pay roll discussions in
California, discrete fully but we have some old daemon's hanging around with
some how kick's in, when they see a name...
So here comes feedback, based on some of your replies:
a) Ted

But I did not imply IBM did the same because I do not have time to read all
the Stock reports.
When you asked if something was 'fishy' you make some sort of implication.

As one of the old daemons I can testify that the name only creates an
atmosphere of anticipation, it's the content of the posts that makes something
kick in. Though I have hardly ever been disappointed in the anticipation
created by the name. Probably an argument can be made for the name itself

Something smells fishy some where..
The only smell I notice is somebody making ungrounded allegations.
If you have a problem with IBM financial reporting:
o -- buy stock and take it up in the next sharholder meeting
o -- take it up with your SEC
BUT, don't bother us with it!

We hashed this out a good bit last month under 'IBMs 2Q 2008'.
Their filing can be viewed with the CFO's presentation at:
May be they just know how to do it but I'm sure there are a lot of conspiracy
theories about it as well. I guess a google search for such theories will be
more productive than a query here at IBM-MAIN.

California accounting . IBM accounting. Get it ?
DELL announced a big buy back , about 3 weeks ago.
SUN did the same.. Check the IT
And the value of your post is?

I think that IBM did a brilliant job of keeping the mainframe alive when
industry, academia etc pronounced the mainframe dead in 1980. VSE died and came
back, VM died and came back, linux runs on the mainframe and soon the wonderful
Windows will be able to run on the mainframe!

You have advanced conspiracy theories with respect to IBM and the U.S

That statement clearly implies an impropriety. And since you are
referring to a company, it is considered a conspiracy.
Conspiracy: an agreement by two or more persons to commit a crime, fraud,
or other wrongful act.

Years ago IBM had something called TCAM (a teleprocessing access method WITH
QUEUEING). Well, after twenty years, guess what MQ series is?
I've been telling people that for years. Most never heard of TCAM.
