RE: Looking for a job...
What??? I can't "hate with all my guts" and have "fun" at the same time??? All at the expense of IBM? Sure I can. I'm gonna laugh all the way into retirement watching IBM kill IDS all the while dumping big $$$ into DB2 UDB. DB2 sucks and it will never gain any traction. In the end, IBM will have nothing and I'll be sipping bahama-mama's on the beach without a care in the database world and the Christines of the database world will be working with Rational or some other product IBM feels like killing. There, Hate and Fun, all in one. You should try it. It feels good. -----Original Message----- From: informix-list-bounces@iiug.org [mailto:informix-list-bounces@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Double Echo Sent: Wednesday, May 31, 2006 10:19 AM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Re: Looking for a job... C'mon Jerry, that's pretty lame. Suddenly an apologist for IBM after going along and slamming them? To quote you, "I hate IBM with all my guts". I hardly see the "fun" in your statements. Now you're defending them? Very lame. The clown is at least consistent in _his_ statements. Anyway... No matter how difficult it may be to work for IBM and push Informix, you have to have better arguments against your competition than what I've seen. One of the weakest positions you could have is to attack your competitions' financial standing. I've seen that happen before in sales presentations when one vendor will tell me that the choice I'm making might not be good because of the financial standing of their competition. Can you guess who might have done that? And now, IBM/Informix is no better than the rest. Pathetic to throw that one out, it's a last gasp of desperation that tells me Informix has nothing to offer against the competition other than IBM covering for Informix's losses. Pathetic. That's not competing, that's just nothing.
