AKA another off topic brain fart. The quote itself wasn't even from IBM, it was a 3d party consultant. The other "Elephant" reference was Gerstner, the asshole who laid off 100,000 people in his effort to "make the elephant dance". It was "dance" in the sense of those old cowboy movies where you dance to the beat of gunfire at your feet. I didn't say the quote was *from* IBM, but it was *about* IBM. Glad you were able to google it up. You don't think I might have heard that before? I was in Kingston when they were working on this, before it got shipped to Boca Remember? I said I left you a cultural allusion. |
