Beemer is Beemer and is the current name Grandad for an IBM employee of a certain kind. To call me Beamer is akin to I calling you say Fister, which would be beneath me.
I'll tell you why IBM has been struck out on three Government Department bids recently .... because the IBM sperm count is artificially low, sapped by the years of wanton waste, extravagance and the arrogance of those who came before. What sperm there are swim in a chemical mire of doubt and caution from past excesses
I support Sam Palmisano and his efforts to raise this company back to where it belongs and in that mission Grandad you can nor should play any part.
