------- Forwarded foolishness follows -------
Heard recently from an IBM field service manager:
A huge travel agency in Florida (a major booker of Caribbean cruises for
blue-haired retired ladies) recently bought an IBM 3090 to run the
reservation database. When the deal was consummated, the proud new owner
asked IBM to install it in a big glass room right behind the
receptionist's area so all the customers could see the flashing lights
and spinning tape reels as they walked in, a testimony to the modernity
of the agency. Good idea, except there are no blinking lights on a 3090.
So the service manager offered to build some. They hired a theatrical
designer to come up with a suitably futuristic "set", got curved glass
walls to minimize reflections, and installed the mainframe behind the
"real-looking" facade. The customer declared that it was exactly what he
had in mind, regardless of what the actual computer looks like.
Moral: the customer is always right.
