If you're worked with Tony Pearson or just know him in passing, please congratulate him for 36 years at IBM. He is so knowledgeable as well as friendly and personable.

Just learned that IBM Storage Redbooks is -NOT- being killed, but WILL CONTINUE. Hooray !!! This incredibly important resource is a huge help to clients, business partners and IBM'ers. Thank goodness.

[Jim Blue @SANCent_Brocade]

IBM Storage RedBooks program is closing down as of Nov 1?? Please say it isn't so !!!! Way too many clients, BPs and IBMers have used this resource over the years. Simply unacceptable!

[Jim Blue @SANCent_Brocade]

It's official now for IBM'ers with a vaccine mandate. If you are not fully vaccinated, please schedule to be that way by Dec 8, 2021. This is simply science and good for you, your family, friends and the public in general.

Prayers and thoughts go out to the folks in Germany, Belgium and elsewhere in Europe dealing with the flooding.

All my thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and families of the partial 12 story Condo collapse in Miami.

Why can't the FCC and/or phone vendors stop all of the robocalls using spoofed #'s?? I've just gotten the 5th callback today of someone wanting to know why I called them. BTW: I haven't called anyone today.
