Cool, I'm glad you had a good conversation.  That's one of the things
that I've been pleasantly surprised about LSI people, is that when I've
expected to get attitude or slapped around with corporate policy BS, it
really never has materialized.  People have been really nice and easy
to work with.  I keep expecting to get the "Resistance is futile"
attitude and whatnot, but things have been fairly non-Borg-like.  Even
when I wanted a fight, like with Dennis or with some of the IT guys,
they are just too nice and easy to get along with, accomodating and
like that.  So it's been an easy trasition from that perspective.  I
still had to beat Dennis about the eyes and ears for the sake of
tradition.

OK, let's set the time at 2.00PM.  I'll put it in my calendar.

Cheers,
