Genesi now listed as IBM Partner on IBM's site

[System]

Genesi, along with the rest of their products are now listed in the Ready for IBM Technology directory.

Well Targhan is right.

Signing up for the IBM logo program is just a lot of formality and self-hype. All it does is list a bunch of companies who offer IBM-based solutions. But that formality is in fact the prerequisite to doing business with IBM - if you didn't make the effort listing in their directory, they don't consider you to exist

It allows by pleasant side-effect all of our resellers and partners to use the IBM PowerPC logo and RFIT logo in reference to our products. It adds a little snap to the websites.

I note Ben Hermans' comment to Targhan's rant of this last year (Feb 2003):

Very nice "research " there but I know for a fact that within the next few months, you will be corrected in a major way.

That's the good thing of having access to inside information not available to the public.

I have seen the future of PPC and I like

I don't see anything coming from Mai, Eyetech or Hyperion either around that date, or since, that validates that smug Belgian grin at the end.

Genesi, however, are producing meat to back up those pretty badges. Stay tuned.

@CodeSmith:

Nobody says we're "certified", we're just "Ready" and "listed". bbrv didn't mention the word "certify" until his last post, you kept inserting it.

Mai were touting a "certification" that they think they earned, which is why Targhan blew a gasket at them. We (Genesi) are not making any brash claims that we did anything besides make our products.

Soon, though, we will have more than just listings on a website to associate us with IBM. That is the BIG difference here.

I understand that Amigans are unduly paranoid.

Please.. we are not sh*tting you on this, Genesi is going somewhere, somewhere other than  bankruptcy court, and you can come along for the ride if you like, but you have to leave your doubt behind

Aha!!! Maybe I was talking about Pretory?

So many people are so adamant that Genesi are going to fail, or are lying, or whatever, that they didn't consider that it may be possible for a company to actually do something right in this community, and make that legendary step OUT of the community and do well there too.

I see handfuls of people going around trying to make it look like Bill Buck had a personal hand in Pretory's demise and that he is a cheating lying snake and is going to jail, people who can't let it into their minds for a second that someone other than their chosen brand can make it into the bigtime.

Embrace the goodness
