EMC World 2009: CMA Keynote

Time to hear Mark Lewis. I’m going to try and resist commentary and hold-off until I have a chance to talk to Mark later today. Mark is a good guy, smart, and knows his stuff. I’m sure this will be up on YouTube later, and I’ll link directly then.

  1. Chris Campbell says:

    I think that there might have been 6 areas in an earlier version of the presentation, but was later simplified or cut down to 5. I caught him saying there was six as well and spent thirty seconds making sure my basic math skills I learned when I was three (counting to ten) was still intact.

    Reminds me of the movie “History of the World: Part I” where Moses comes down from the mountain. SCENE: (Moses approaches holding three large stone tablets.)

    MOSES: I bring you these 15 Commandments!

    (Moses fumbles and drops one of the three stone tablets. It shatters into pieces.)

    MOSES: Ten! Ten Commandments!

    • Funny, and probably accurate. I’m sure that the removal of the 6th point was far less life-altering than the removal of those 5 commandments.

  2. Looks like they keep deleting the FTP information. I’ll see if EMC can find another place to host the files.
