- Everyone / Anyone:
-
- Just FYI:
-
- First the news: bgm@cray.com no longer exists. Please drop me from
- the OS/2 moderated forum. (Sorry - I forgot to do it before leaving.)
-
- If you want to reach me, you may do so through
-
- - The MN OS/2 End-user Group's BBS Internet access (what I am
- using to send this message).
- - Compuserve (71371,517) (71371.517@compuserve.com)
- - IBM BBS in Altanta (404/835-6600)

- As reported in many newspapers, Cray Research, Inc., is restructuring
- itself. I decided to accept voluntary layoff. My last active day at
- Cray was Friday, November 13, 1992. (My employment for legal and
- benefit reasons continues through December 31, 1992.)
-
- I decided to accept voluntary layoff (like the IBM ITO (Incentive
- Transition Option)) for several reasons:
-
- - Cray and I were growing apart on our visions of the future.
- I believe in IBM, OS/2, portable OS/2, and the Mach 3.0 micro
- kernel.
- I believe the computing majority can use supercomputing power and
- not just the elite few.
- Time will tell the tale. I wish Cray Research, Inc., the best in
- its vision of the computing and supercomputing future.
-
- - Finding an OS/2 job would make me happy and get me excited for
- work again.
-
- - I believe I can and will find an OS/2 job before my severance
- package runs out.
-
- Between the time of volunteering and my last active day, I received an
- offer for (what I consider) two "dream jobs." Since I have yet to
- accept, I don't feel at liberty to discuss them publicly.
