Big Blue bought the company I work for back in Feb, so far I have yet to
see one person in a blue suit and tie, and perhaps only one or two ties
here or there.   All-in-all the best part of the acquisition is that it
freed us up from having to do the quarter-to-quarter wall street dance.
 We still operate pretty much the same, except as a business unit deep
in IBM.  I guess you could say that IBM further removed us from the
executive mgmt headaches. ;-)  One plus was a salary increase/adjustment
due to a difference in IBMs bonus plan and the company that I was
working for.

I was really cautious and concerned 10 months ago when the acquisition
was announced, however 8 months down the new road and no complaints yet,
at least now that they support Lotus Notes on Linux. ;-)
