And then we had lunch ...

... and the IBM VP who I was desperately hoping would not recognise me came over for a chat, which went like this :

"Hi - looked at my badge - Karoona! How are you?"
"Very good thank you, how about yourself ?" with huge fake grin
"We've met before, haven't we ?"
"Umm, yes we have" Nervous laugh, what's the best hiding place in this hotel ?
"Somewhere in Orlando ? ... LoLa ? Yes that's it"
"Yes, LoLa" Stupid nervous laugh again
"Yes I remember, we had quite a few conversations about SaaS didn't we? How did it all go? Has a decision been made yet ? "
"Umm, yes"

So as expected he didn't know, as expected I had to tell him, and as expected he threw me A look and politely avoided us through the rest of the day, except for the times when he mentioned that Panasonic had moved 90,000 users to Lotus Live, at which points he threw us meaningful, if scorching, glances.

I know nothing!
