SNW Leftovers: Page 4 of 4

Because the Boston area is one of the hot spots for storage companies, SNW was filled with Red Sox fans reveling in their team’s improbable run to the World Series championship. Meanwhile, a Cardinals fan was rarer than a 1-port switch. Baseball dominated all non-technology talk among bleary-eyed storage pros who had to stay up well past their bedtimes to catch the end of games. Hotel bars at SNW were filled with screaming fans for Games 3 and 4, and people scheduled to fly home Wednesday night scrambled to change flights so they wouldn’t be in the air during Game 4.

It’s no wonder nobody got around to adequately defining ILM.
