Six degrees and Dan Clark

I was at the Novell Global Sales Conference in Orlando, FL all of last week.

Final evening – Saturday – we had the final wrap ups and call to action; followed by Dan Clark – the motivational speaker.

He was actually pretty good; and did well making his time personal to Novell and the audience.

Later that evening I was talking to my friend Rick Fowles – and mentioned that Dan made a funny Northern Ireland joke. Rick just grinned and said – “I know – I did my mission with him in Belfast”.

Small world. Proving Six Degrees of seperation is true once more.

Windows 2000

Windows 2000. Ah.

w2kboot

That takes me back.

Building more Vista migration stuff for the Sales kickoff; and I’m shocked how different Windows 2000 and Vista are in terms of resource requirements.

I’m running Windows 2000 quite happily in a machine with 196MB RAM on a VM; Vista takes at least five times that for the same performance.
