[kictanet] IBM is dead!

Wed Apr 18 09:14:53 EAT 2012

Yawe, Listers;

My take: I believe the tone in the last few days following the post
"Kictanet 2.0"  has been that we are all free to critique and comment on all
matters ICT. The negativity or positivity of any such critique, is relative-
i.e. is in the eyes of the reader. What we however need to strive to
achieve, is to have an open forum that is helping in advancing the role that
ICT in the Social, Economic and Political facets of our economy.

Indeed, in the past (and I am a culprit on this) we have put up posts that
seem to either champion/castigate one organization/individual or the other;
Let is then try to quickly move away from this so that we are a resource
rich forum (yes even to our PHD students)  that is near devoid of "Lurkers".
This does not mean that;  if there is an organization/individual that seems
to be "dropping the ball; sleeping on the job, etc" should not be told as
much- No,  they MUST , just that is very essential and healthy that
maintain a decent level of decorum and etiquette - I am working on my partJ

Again, just my take.

Edwin

Hi Listers,

I have just received a phone call from a very respected member of this
community, who shall remain unnamed for purposes of his reputation as in
this case he is acting as a gun for hire.  

He indicated that the post below is negative and I need to have a more
positive approach to my posts.

Mine is to present my case and accept judgement in the court of peer
opinion, so I ask is this post negative?

In the conversation it was said that most list members avoid contributing
for fear of being flamed mainly by me, to encourage all to participate I
promise not to respond to any post that relates to this issue either now or
in the future.

Moderator, in the event that the majority indicate my post of the successful
launch of a cloud solution by IBM is negative please delete the post and
suspend my posting privileges for 1 month or any other period deemed
appropriate to the extent of cancelling my membership.

Hi All,

I always said that my short lived mini computer skills will serve me again
soon, the big boys are back in the game and at the front of the pack is old
Blue.

Cloud is the death knell for the PC Servers and the rebirth of the mainframe
team, it is good to be back home with total and absolute control.
