[Lisa Kachold]

I thought IBM was only responsible for bad overly intellectualized
documentation and nazi war crimes?

But, shirley you have IBM confused with RedHat?

Hey, I have been building production xSeries systems on Blades since before
your pants were plastic, kiddo!  But to say IBM's hardware contribution is
the "bulk of fedora development" here is quite a stretch?
