These are the guys that bought one of the most cutting-edge high-end enterprise technology companies in the world, and sold off the core technology that powered the whole thing (the Alpha chip) in exchange for ... well, nothing. Then they announced moving Tru64 from the Alpha to the Itanium, a chip with a decade less archetectural field-testing. Do you smell an innate problem here?

Pfeh, change and grow. I can't even get into the number of classes I'm supposed to be getting every year. I take management courses when I can because I find the underlying ideas interesting, many times, if only to highlight why these people are so wrong-headed.

What I'd like to get into is enterprise wide data mining/information management, but ... well, its fairly niche.
