Bleary-Eyed In Orlando - Must Be SNW
Well, after the usual two-hour delay getting out of Newark I'm finally ensconced in my 1-star hotel and preparing for another Storage Networking World. I've already gotten a few interesting "pre-briefings" before tomorrow's big golf outing. For those that don't follow such things, SNW is run by SNIA (The Storage Network Industry Association) and they seem to think the most important part of the conference is the golf outing. They must, or they wouldn't always have it at a $300/night hotel with a world-class golf course.

It was funny a few years ago watching a speaker try to explain why they had to rename SASI to SCSI without mentioning that the first S used to stand for Shugart and vendor names aren't allowed in international standard names.
More tomorrow. The bed is calling to me...
