IBM, You BM, We All BM, For IBM

I was once told by a....really *blush* yeah in an elevator in 90 I was told by an IBM regional VP, Woman, in the elevator:

"Never, ever, let them make you cut your hair."

(I was 18 training on the AS400/PS2 ... And fucking Token Ring)

Because of her, I've kept my hair long in the industry.

Another fun story: At WiReD I had meeting with HP and IBM becausre I needed some not SUN servers. HP showed up (being SilliValley) in shorts and Berkenstocks, IBM showed up looking like the Blues Brothers. I bought my servers from HP.
