Informix Race Car

Folks, ￜ I just noticed a new Informix race car on the road, see: ￜ http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/informix/ids/ ￜ Ok, it is not a real one like our old blue one, but this seems only to reflect the proportion of the Informix marketing budget in the nineties and today -:) ￜ Still wondering why the good benchmark result mentioned there is not worth a press notice. Searching for 'informix' ￜ under news.google.com is really frustrating. ￜ The 'old' Informix logo is shown on the new race car. It would be good to see this Informix logo not only on a virtual race car, but also in advertisement and everywhere on the IBM Informix website as this would give Informix some kind of identity back. ￜ To be successul race cars need - beside a sophisticated technology - a courageous, experienced driver and an ambitious team. The technology is there and I also think that the team is motivated, but the courageous driver is still missing. ￜ A little bit more speed and courage regarding marketing ￜ activities around Informix would be more than welcome. There are still many points open in the Informix marketing request list: http://www.herber-consulting.de/cgi-bin/IfxMarkReq.pl
