The "slam" was from IBM. I just quoted a small section of their website and then posted the link where I saw it. I did not slam anyone.

All marketing is slam, but usually contains at least some useful information. I think people are smart enough to separate the marketing BS (or "slam") from the facts when the information is provided by a competitor (as was clearly identified). Received on Wed Jan 26 2005 - 17:02:13 CST
