Having just joined Big Blue I get the impression that there are enough Scooby drivers to qualify for our own sub-brand.

Already seen a few cars in the Farnborough car park.

Any other Big Blue owners want to admit to it

Is this some kind of **** site for cars ?

fast bloke

Strange you should mention that Church_monster. I thought it was something to do with the Big Blue House on Disney Playhouse Channel.
Care to enlighten us Rannoch?

I work on Big Blue equipment if that helps

Dave T-S

....I think he means IBM - those of you old enough to remember will know it is a company that used to be a force in computing.....

dsmith

Ahh... Now I remember. I think my Grandad still talks about his first IBM XT or something...

8 inch floppy disks, anyone???

Geezer

I work for Big Blue, and my car is blue too!

I know of a few within the company.

Geezer

P.S. Rannoch, when did you join, and was it of your own choice?

'Apparently' there is 'Private Blue' - I am informed that it is a **** Channel on Sky's Digital system (ch980)

Big blue similar, if so, how much to join?

Purely out of curiosity you understand

I think you will find that it is the "little e-business nerds" or CUSTOMERS that help keep the likes of you employed.

What, Microsoft is called Big Blue???

SimonM

Off topic, but, isn't Cisco the biggest (IT) company in the world? Or is that just the richest?

I could be wrong... it happend once before.

Geezer,

a choice between being bought by Cap Gemini or going to IBM may sound like I had no choice! I was with EY.

I have now been in the business for two and a half weeks - another guy who joined at the same time as me has already resigned!!!!!

He told me he was already loaded and couldn't be ar$ed with the IBM way of things!

Used to work at Hursley - ok company but probably too big for its own good sometimes.

Did they ever succeed in getting Notes running the internal systems? - the old green screens (NOSS anyone?) were better IMHO...

Microsoft used to be the worlds biggest user if IBM [big blue] AS400 systems.

They need something they could rely on !!!

blp
