EMC and NetApp reps do so love to bash each others companies. In fact, I have to wonder if they get paid extra to do so...
For what it's worth, those of you that might also have EMC equipment we're now running a list analogous to toasters for their boxes. Though we were tempted to continue along the kitchen appliance vein we figured 'fridge@mathworks.com' would miss the mark... instead we went with the much more lovely and endearing 'emcnas@mathworks.com' (emc@ was already claimed as an alias :-)
Same rules and regulations apply. Must be 18 or older to play. Void where prohibited.
