You could also be something else which is more plausible given your behaviour here in this group? Sorry to say it Ian but you've no credibility on the subject. And given your obvious animosity toward IBM there is no reason to believe anyone that actually knows would have reason to share it with you. But just for fun ... if you have an NDA ... why don't you scan it, post it, and post the link. An NDA is not covered by an NDA. <g> -- Daniel A.

Oh wait, if you bothered to read some of the NDAs, even mentioning that you have an NDA is a violation of the NDA. (Yes, I signed one with a company where I went to do a demo. The NDA stipulated that I couldn't even talk about the customer, or that I met with the customer, and I couldn't discuss what we talked about.) If you think its BS, the customer is in MI, the NDA was signed in the early 90's, regarding IDS and NeXTStep. The client liked me, but wanted to use Sybase. So I backed out of any further discussions. I've also given verbal NDAs. Yeah. people trust me enough to not talk about certain things, which can make life sometimes difficult. You can hint or suggest why someone should do something, but you can't tell them why and if they ask, you can't tell them what you know or that you can't talk about it. So Daniel, go ahead and print your NDAs.
