RE: Been keeping my head in the sand, but now it's time to reach out for help!


Thanks for the details on Tosh. We used to buy Tecra laptops years ago because we could count on the laptop hardware remaining very compatible and consistent over several product generations. We ran another OS on them in addition to Windows so we tried to avoid rapid changes to the underlying hardware platform. Sad that Tosh is where it's at today.

I like to take stabs at IBM but I too came from a couple hardware companies that went thru their highs and lows (SGI & Sun). I'm at a more diversified company now that continues to invest in microprocessor, servers, storage, systems, OS, middleware, database, and applications. But I admit that the hardware side is a constant struggle.

I work in the field and I follow some of these companies casually as my competitors. It will be interesting to see how the Dell/EMC/(VMware) thing works out. I haven't followed HPE lately but I believe their stock price shot up significantly last year.... but so did the broader market. I have personally displaced a good amount of NTAP in my accounts. And we're seeing more from Cisco (not just switches).
