These things remind why I always admired IBM (even when I despised them) - they're one of the few companies that will build stuff like this just to see if they can. RIP: private sector RD.

RE: new ibm ad
new ibm linux ad, based on basketball: how can anybody that good play for peanuts? loves the game. I think this is a *very* subtle ad for SuSE. The player wearing the Linux jersey is Detlef Schrempf, former NBA player (Portland last year, Seattle several years before that and Dallas before that), who was nicknamed The Mercedes for his smooth glide to the hoop, great ball handling for a big man (6'11), his consistency over the years, and his German heritage. He came to the UW straight from Germany. A most fitting representative for SuSE! ;-} In Harmony's Way, and In A Chord, Tom :-}) +--+ | Thomas A.
