Hey, I’m looking for the Nigel Poulton I used to be pen pals with years ago. If you are the same Nigel, please email me at GAHokanson at yahoo.com (hopefully the spammers won’t pick that up!!)

Thanks!

I would like to them go up against a TMS RAM-SAN 400 It would be like watching a race between a fleet of Ford Transit vans vs Thrust-1

How about the Storage Wacky Races? EMC would have to be Dick Dastardly and Muttley (I leave you to guess who they are), Can’t decide if HDS are Professor Pat Pending or the Red Max. Perhaps IBM could be the Ant Hill Mob….

Thanks Matt, duly noted. Just goes to show you can learn something every day.

Well guess I might not make it to Storage Expo then since nobody of any interest is turning up - not that you were of interest Mark. I was thinking more along the lines of Hu looking like he's dropped out.

Barry, as for a prize....... a hows about a nice certificate or even medal from the SNIA!

BTW that was sarcasm, Im not a big fan of the sneer.

Trackbacks don't seem to be working: Missing from Nigel's proposal is any form of prize, though, and we all know that you gotta have prizes in any real race, elsewise there's just no incentive to ~~win~~ ~~cheat~~ enter the race. http://thestorageanarchist.typepad.com/weblog/2007/10/0043-storage-ca.html

Yeh, we could even have a scandal that HP have stolen Hitachi technical drawings. Guess they couldnt deny it either if you lifted the hood on the XP
