Re: Elvis sighted in Somers NY !

["Al Barsa" <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Malcolm Haines is a genius (and this put's it lightly), who worked for
IBM's AS/400 Division for many years.  He was forced to fight for the
platform with both hands tied behind his back, which must had to have been
extremely frustrating.

I believe that his (likely self-engineered) title was "AS/400 Minister or
Propaganda".

He did a Monty Python like video in the early 90's called "The greatest
system in the world" (I've been looking for it this morning, and can't find
it.)  If I remember correctly, there is an IBM part number for it.

He effectively reprieved it in the late 90's on a CD called FATSO.

About a year and a half ago, he left IBM to enter a start-up venture which
like so many technology start-up's didn't start, and he is returning to IBM
today.  When he resigned (which is think was more technically a leave of
absence), the code words on this list were "Elvis is dead".

This is great for IBM and great for the system.

Ok, for us naive, can someone explain the relevance and who you are talking
about?
