Got this from someone trying to connect with me on LinkedIn today:
Hi Michael,
I’m reaching out to better understand if MB Software Solutionswould be a fit to work with our analyst community for thought leadership and strategic insight.
I am spearheading a new Gartner channel that focuses on high growth startups and emerging tech/service providers, and would love to discuss how Gartner can contribute to MB Software Solutions's continued growth.
Do you have 30 minutes for a phone call this week or next to discuss this further?
Kind regards, Devin
Business Development Director* Gartner* gartner.com
I have to say that Gartner *STILL* leaves a bad taste in my mouth, these 20+ years later. (For those unaware, Gartner could be attributed with shooting the arrow that killed Visual FoxPro.)
Happily retired, thanks!

Gartner shot it but chances are that MSFT manufactured the arrow.
