We are looking for people who research and recommend systems and

research study next week.

IT managers/execs, entrepreneurs, data center managers/staff, systems
administrators, and systems architects/engineers are needed.

You must be located in the US to participate. Current or recent

not  eligible. Sorry, but you must be currently employed to

If you are interested, you will be asked to participate in a 1-hour

have an Internet connection and a separate phone line). Participants
will receive $75 (by check) for their feedback.

Wednesday, June 10

If you are interested, please reply and let me know:
1. Your current job: tell us a bit about what you do.
2. Your experience with Sun Microsystems products if any. If you are
not familiar with Sun, please describe similar hardware products that
you are familiar with.  You *must* be able to talk about technical
specifications of servers and/or large storage devices to participate.
3. The number of employees in your business and  the industry. We're
as interested in small businesses and startups as we are in people who
work in larger businesses.
4. Your specific role in researching, recommending, and purchasing IT-
related hardware.
5. Times that would work for you on Wednesday the 10th (Please include
your time zone).
6. A phone number where you can be reached for scheduling.
