| State of the art -- what?
Something to consider as well:
Today's state of the art is tomorrow's buggy whip.
|
| 3220.2 | yet another name thing | SWAM1::MEUSE_DA | | Wed Jun 29 1994 17:36 | 3 |

| Everyone else is associating themselves with the best state of the art
....intel, microsoft, novel, why not us who have
the best name to associate with the state of the art technology "digital".
|
| 3220.4 | World Class! | DELNI::SWOOD | | Wed Jun 29 1994 17:54 | 2 |
| Oh. Please don't leave out "world class".
|
| 3220.5 | | FILTON::ROBINSON_M | No more Mr. Nice Guy | Thu Jun 30 1994 05:35 | 1 |
| ... or "paradigm" or "leadership".
|
| 3220.6 | Ops! You forgot another one... | MSDOA::SCRIVEN | | Thu Jun 30 1994 09:33 | 3 |
| Lets not forget "Best in Class"....

|
| 3220.8 | | DREUL1::rob | Rob Marshall - Customer Service Dresden | Thu Jun 30 1994 10:02 | 6 |
| How about:
At "digital" we have world class paradigms for our best in class leadership.
If you want state of the art, we have it now.

| ok then, how about
At digital we "imagine" we have world class paradigms for our best in
class leadership because we realize that perception IS reality. If you
want state of the art, we have it now.

| RE .11
Permission granted - imagine that :-)
Imagine...you're in an open architecture flying through space at unbelievable
bandwidths...you're being bombarded by Alpha-waves...suddenly you realize that
your perception has had it now, your world class paradigms start breaking down,
falling into shards of poor leadership at your feet is what used to be best in
class digital philosophies.....an alien vessel, in the shape of a Porsche
appears out of nowhere and fires one TFSO (Thermonuclear Fast-Spinning Object)
after another...you see the bodies of colleagues being flung into the far
reaches of the universe....you tug frantically on your value chain trying to
affect some change of course, but to no avail...
sorry, just getting wierd, it must be late....

| 3220.14 | ... there's always more ... | CPDW::CIUFFINI | God must be a Gemini... | Thu Jun 30 1994 14:32 | 4 |

If all else fails, we can spin of a high-tech computer game.

.13, thanks for making my afternoon
|
| 3220.17 | OK, follow on to .13 | DREUL1::rob | Rob Marshall - Customer Service Dresden | Fri Jul 01 1994 05:40 | 14 |
| imagine we start up where we left off...
....the alien ship approaches and you notice the dreaded knight from the dark
side of the force, Robert the Rapid from the planet Mostek is at the helm...
your hit with another salvo of TFSOs...the platforms under your feet begin to
break away...you fall, tumbling down....down...down-siezing any opportunity to
stop your fall, but there are just no solutions left...you hit bottom, your
broke, totally drenched in red ink, but you realize the fight is not over,
Robert the Rapid and his Wizards of Finance will be boarding the ship soon...
your not a religious person, but in spite of the fact that all your prophets
are gone you know that you've got to do the right thing...you pull your KO-gun
out of your holster, and brace yourself for the worst...
to be continued....

Give my bladder a break will ya, I'm laughing so hard! PLEASE to
continue, but make sure that you smoke whatever you're smoking, first,
and that it's appropriately late after a hard day at the office, all
the better to spin your yarn of futuristic wierdness. Can't wait for
the next installment! :^) :^) :^)
We just TFSOd a GREAT guy in my group who used to spin such yarns, and
I was truly wondering what I was going to do for fun, with him gone...
say, ya want the job? ;^)
Thanks for a real day brightener!

| 3220.19 | STOP IT...YOU'RE KILLIN' ME!! | DECLNE::TOWLE | | Fri Jul 01 1994 18:28 | 7 |

calls

laughing uncontrollably. Come on 6:00!!!!

| hey rob ... reading a bit too much spaceman spi- er, calvin & hobbes?
|
| 3220.21 | this is getting addictive... | DREUL1::rob | depending on His love | Wed Jul 06 1994 12:10 | 15 |
| imagine we're back where we left off...
...you notice that your KO-gun is low on energy...you look around for reserve
energy, but can't seem to find a package...then you notice one laying under
some wreckage, the new packages aren't as big as the old ones, but you hope
that it will still give you enough energy to fight off the hard times to
come...you hear a large roar and a vast door opens up in front of you, the
massive storage around you takes a quantum leap into the far reaches of space...
Robert the Rapid steps through the opening with a sly grin, he draws his
digital phase-out, before you can raise your KO-gun he DECks you, when it
comes to phase-outs he always was competent to the core...everything around
you is spiraling downwards, you've virtually lost touch with reality....
to be continued...
