[SGVLUG] VMware presentation, + SCALE

[matti]

Hi!

1st I really want to thank Stephen for lining up the
WMware presentation. THANKS!

REMEMBER - I want to encourage people to bring up
possible presentors who we maybe interested in.
(just run them by a few of us OG'er - "Old luGroupers" ;)

>From my experience with past presentations of VMware 
at conferences, I am expecting this to be a good one 
for us.

WHAT sort of questions do you want to see answered?
( we maybe able to send this ahead of time to give
the presentor )

believe me, John has probably seen quite a few ..
err disappointing sales pitches, as have a number of
us. Thus - why we're all a bit sensitive to "Let
me show you what my product can do for you"
pitches/presentations.

Remember: SCALE!!!

** I HIGHLY recommend it **

EVEN at FULL price it is a GREAT DEAL!!
