And there are some of us that don't have grey beards (I'm in my early 40s). Or beards (clean-shaven). Unfortunately, there still is the issue of the hairy chest *g* .
Drifting a bit...I would love to help the zNextGen project in any way. I've even e-mailed the coordinator at SHARE after Seattle. But I haven't had a response, which distresses me. I'm hoping they're overwhelmed with response, but the impression both SHARE and IBM are giving is that zNextGen is just lip service. I don't want that to be the truth. But, as much as I hate marketing speak, perception is reality. And the perception that SHARE and IBM are putting out about zNextGen is that it's just meaningless words. I want SHARE and IBM to prove me wrong about zNextGen. At least return my e-mail.
