Yes John I agree.  I think it is sort of weird, and I am not even and 
ex-IBM employee.  I guess doing something like forming an ex-employee's 
club is okay.  But, there is just someting about it that is strange.  

If being and ex-employee is the common bond what happens at an alumni 
meeting when the ones who were forced into retirement and hate the company 
meet the ones who don't hate the company.  I bet there could be a knock 
down brawl. (smile)  Who knows?  Maybe they all stand around with IBM 
T-shirts on swagging down beers and singing the old company song all 
night.  Hope they have a lot of fun.  

Sounds like there is a big profit motive in therer for someone to me.  
Especially if it is on Prodigy.
