Hell! He's one of the idiots who helped to kill the company after Phil White got greedy. Here's a free clue. If you think that your company's products are a commodity, then you shouldn't be the CEO of the company. Just talk to any farmer who grows apples or watermelons to talk to you about the differences between varieties. (And of course then there's cattle but enough of the ag examples. ;-) 2) While Eric talks about Informix branded give-aways ... There's a funny thing about IBM... As a rep, I would have an easier time expensing a $500.00 dinner with executives from a client, than I would if I had bought them $100.00 worth of IBM golf shirts and sleeves of golf balls. I kid you not. (Apparently a lot of people had abused the system to get freebies for themselves) Now I wonder if IBM would license the Informix logo so some interested 3rd party would create logo'd items for sale? :-) -G
