As a retired teacher, his words struck a chord with me.

JK,

I'm glad the design templates were of use. It was an interesting time when Novell had 70% of the market. I used to dialogue with their architects and chairman including Eric Schmidt who I interviewed. Eric finally left to go to Google. History is strange some times!

Cheers,

Mark,

I believe teaching is one of the greatest professions and I was proud to serve my students. Thank you for your words. I retired from teaching in 2004 (officially Jan 2005) however I will always be one in my heart and soul. I was flown into the US a while back to provide advice to a major group. They asked, how would you identify yourself: IT architect, Chairman, Director, Technology expert,...? I replied, "I'm a teacher."

Cheers,
Stephen Ibaraki

Nancy,

When I was invited to speak at the last Comdex in Vegas, it represented a unique time in IT. It was the end of the Comdex magic since it hasn't reappeared since however it was also the beginning of the Web Services boom which in many ways is the catalyst for SaaS, Web 2.0, Microsoft innovations. I'm glad the talk was of use. I wrote a paper which appeared with Xephon the following year and later with the NPA on the same topic and gave related presentations to many companies who requested it afterwards. I knew it would build out further. Don't you just love this business--the change makes it fun!

Cheers,
Stephen Ibaraki
