I'm banging my cup against the bar for what Tony just said about Susie and her team, Here here !!
They've done a dang good job over the years, given the ball field they had to play in. The best news we've heard in all this is that she and her team are staying on. We have to also say that the product offering is still strong as any MV offering out there. None of these things have changed. Maybe the U2UG will have to bring to fruition the plans already laid to increase market share and name recognition, like the learner packs, and incubator projects. Maybe we've each 'come to the kingdom for such a time as this'. We may not like some of the aspects of this, but we can each help shape the outcome. One thing Rocket probably hasn't ever experienced in all their acquisitions - a user community like this one. I trust they will come to understand that this is one of the greatest of the U2 assets they acquired in the deal. We know the U2/MV story, and we have each been telling it longer than IBM. We will teach it to Rocket. Thanks.

All that said, I think Susie Siegesmund and her team have done a great job within the IBM machine to preserve the platforms and keep them moving forward. My reservations have always been about what IBM wasn't doing for the platform, which isn't related to what it looks like the U2 team have done and have been trying to do. Good luck to everyone on the U2 team making the move. Tony Gravagno Nebula Research and Development TG@ remove.pleaseNebula-RnD.com remove.pleaseNebula-RnD.com/blog Visit PickWiki.com!
