A small box arrived in the mail at work today from IBM. Inside was a small
package of Mega-Bloks, and just about no explanation as to why they were
included, apart from the statement "IBM has what you need to build a Resilient
Infrastructure".
I find this funny on a couple fronts: In the early days of PCs, IBM computers
were considered the "real thing" while all others were clones. Why would IBM
choose a clone brick? I hardly think of Mega-Bloks as more "resilient" than
Lego :)
Also, IBM very recently won a huge contract to provide TLC with computer
services - this is a bit of a back-stab, isn't it? :)
