This story begins with a nineteen-month-old named Brian, who then grows up to be a special young man with special gifts above all others. His love of Christmas trains was only surpassed by his love of planes and all air vehicles. Superman had become his favorite airplane. Every year after Christmas, he saw the huge tree and everything else disappear. He would go to bed and when he would awaken, everything would be gone-the tree, the train, all the toys, the helicopters, the big and small panes at the tree platform airport. Worse than that, even the platform where everything was displayed was gone. But, the next year, it was back. Christmas was a great day every year and it stayed that way for days after so much so that it seemed like it would never end each and every year. After it was about to all go away at the end of just his second Christmas season, after a few days passed with all platform items gone, he got over it. That year, mom and dad took him for a special visit to a Christmas wizard who was also an angel. The wizard had a huge platform with trains and flying objects even though it was a few weeks after Christmas. It was before Brian had even turned two-years old. In this visit, he picked up more real information that a child his age should have been able to handle... Yet, he was able to manage the truth well, for over five years. Then, in his seventh year, when he reached the age of reason, he finally had figured out the Christmas mystery. No matter what, no longer was there any sadness at the end of the Christmas season. This year, like every other year, he was ready for it all to go away but the Christmas angel had told him "Fear Not " No longer did he care about going to sleep one particular night after Christmas, and poof, the morning would present a big void. It was his yearJust like he knew it would; it happened. This time, there was not an icicle or even a tiny piece of platform snow anywhere to make him think it was not just a silly dream-like how it was explained every other year. This year mom and dad knew that Brian knew the secret and he promised them he would not tell his younger brother and sister. Brian had grown; still loved Christmas; but was changed by the visit with the angel and this was the big year. On his seventh birthday, when he woke up, he got a big surprise. He did not know what it was all about but he had been assured that it would be good. For five years he had felt the muscular nubs in his back. A wizard had made a great prediction that the muscles in his back that seemed to be outgrowths of the scapula, could support huge wings. This discovery over time would become the most significant thing that would happen in Brian's life until the day his gifts were full grown. His story is what this book is all about. This is great family reading. A real family is highlighted in this fine uplifting story. Thank you for reading it. You can read this book to all your children and their friends and they will love it. Enjoy Have a great and magical day. I have a feeling that the tree, the toys, and the toot-toot and perhaps even more, will all be back next year if not sooner.

For quite a few years, my friends in the computer industry and I have been confused by IBM's failure to highlight its single best product, the AS/400. I can remember saying to members of this group of AS/400 aficionados that only IBM could create the AS/400 and only IBM could destroy the AS/400. No company besides IBM could have invested as much capital on the technology that was necessary to create the AS/400, and no other company could intentionally destroy the product of its efforts, as the finest computer system ever built. After many years spent telling customers that it was planning to promote the AS/400, the plan never came. IBM's AS/400 customers are now in revolt against the company. IBM has not done a good job in its vital roles as caretaker and life-sustainer of this system, upon which many customers run their businesses. If IBM were doing a good job, one of the most asked questions in the industry would not be the following: "Is the AS/400 Dead?"Most people see IBM as a very successful company that is really great at making big computers. That is IBM's legacy for those who drink from the fountain of public knowledge. Unless you work in the computer industry, you would naturally be unaware of all the ventures over the years in which IBM was less than successful. For the record, today's IBM is the same IBM that lost the PC business, the relational database business, the telecommunications business, the application software business, the satellite communications business, the Unix business, the word processing business, the video disk business, the computerized branch exchange business, the disk drive business, as well a number of other businesses in which you and I would have made millions. Yet, without learning a lesson, the new IBM is behaving as arrogantly with its AS/400 customers as it did during these other great losses. So what are we to expect?

There is no better kept secret in your computer than the chip that makes everything go. Most People simply look for Intel Inside and look no further. That paradigm had been working for years. Today you can find better performance and lower prices with alternative processing chips. Intel, the dominant chip maker in the world is a household name but is it still the technology leader that it claims to be?

You won't be able to put this book down. Everything you want to know about chips is in here. The beauty of this book is that it not only gives you the inside scoop on which engine should drive your PC, but it also offers a first-class business and historical perspective on a fascinating technology based industry. The Chip War between AMD and Intel, IBM, and others will be big news for years to come. Even then, the case may not be decided permanently. Who will survive? Who will win the Chip Wars? This book gives you the best insights as to what the fight is all about and who is poised to win. Though this book was originally produced in 2005 and it is in its second reprint with minor modifications, it is still the defining book for programmers, analysts, IT Directors, network analysts, etc. Even John Q. Public can gain from reading this great book. It speaks the language of every day Americans and does not assume everybody is a technology engineer. You may even find yourself selling or buying some stock based on what you are about to gain from this book. The Chip industry is a real soap opera and the facts actually make a great tale. When you read the details, you will be glued to this book. You will soon know the whole story. With lots of chatter behind the scenes, IBM, an unlikely contestant in the Chip Wars, is keeping very quiet. But isn't Big Blue the leader in future home technology with its lock on the game console industry? Why is it that it seems that the only two chip companies who are not paying IBM for semiconductor advice are IBM and Intel? What about the many semiconductor partnerships going on today? Who will they benefit? Why does it seem that IBM, a company that is theoretically not even at war with Intel on all of the industry semiconductor teams? Could this group of partners be ready to take on Intel in the open community? Viva La Guerra

Sometimes the best deal in town is a bona fide steal and you're the one robbed. Any "low cost" server that fails more often than its equally low business value would justify its worth no more than a bushel of pencils. The deceptive allure of low pricing has played bandit in more than a few episodes of server pillaging.Fortunately, cost is no longer the paramount factor, now displaced by business value and resiliency. Small and large businesses alike are fed up with their systems' chronic unavailability. There no longer exists the luxury of indulging the whims and caprices of every unresponsive system or lingering down situation. Resiliency is the new paradigm. The new business world operates in an exponentially more real time fashion. Transactions and information flow with the currents of broadband. Transactions execute immediately. Tolerance for downtime has dissipated. What can a business, of any size, use to stay afloat? The all-everything operating system, IBM i, is the best answer, short of a pencil. Trust the Casinos, who currently use IBM i. Any doubts of their pressing need for systems reliability?In IBM i, the company has made the finest, most architecturally elegant, most usable, most productive, most affordable, and least frustrating operating system of all time. Its IBM Power System, driven by IBM i, is a "mainframe for the masses" because it can be as large and big as a mainframe but it also fits just as effectively into a small business. It's highly secure, productive, granular, and affordable and eschews the operational impediments that would diminish revenue, regulatory compliance, and corporate reputation. The all everything operating system is designed to resist viruses and run smoothly at all times. Numerous customer testimonials aver that and much more. This book walks you through the story of this unique operating system from its inception until today. It presents its underlying superiority, its rapid customer acceptance, development history, and its probable future. Inside, its unique architecture and interactions are discussed in easily accessible layman's terms. Upon finishing this book, you will understand why IBM is proud to have built the finest operating system in the universe and why it deserves the name, "all-everything" operating system. Its manifold improvements and value implications are condensed here in a single collection of pages.

And, folks, we plan to bring those jobs back alive.

Donald Trump would do well selecting the RRR plan as his very own. I liked the ring of former Presidential candidate Herman Cain's presentation of his 999 plan back in 2012 plan so much that when I developed my top three bullets for my US Senate campaign against Robert P. Casey Jr. in Pennsylvania in the fall 2011, six months before the Primary election, and all three began with the word reduce, the RRR plan was conceived. The full title of this book of course is RRR: A Unique Plan for Economic Recovery and Job Creation. Along the way to a full set of issues that my campaign addresses, there are an additional three sets of 3 R's that are also fleshed out in this book.Unlike the Herman Cain plan, the RRR focuses on many more areas that need to be addressed for us to turn around our economy and stimulate job creation. Cain's 999 plan addresses a major change in the tax structure. The RRR plan, on the other hand includes taxes but it reaches into critical areas that are impeding economic growth today such as regulations, immigration, and spending. Additionally, the RRR plan suggests that we alter our pure capitalism system into one that is more mercantilist. Jobs are hard to come by anywhere in the world today including the United States. Even some liberals are starting to say that "you can blame the government for that." In this day and age, you can blame the government for lots more than that, and nobody would think you were kidding.Despite no jobs for anybody else, the US government is growing in terms of employees at a record pace. This is not part of the solution. This is part of the problem. While government grows, there is less and less real work even for government workers. And, so many agencies, even those that originally did good work in their functionary role as well as their advisory role to the President, have branched into areas that now hurt the economy rather than help it. The more of them there are unfortunately, the greater the drag on private sector jobs and the economy as a whole.Why did I write this book?Our economy has stopped working. Our financial institutions have been forced to lessen their standards while the taxpayer has become the prop between any of government's favorite businesses and failure. The United States once represented rugged individualism in all we did and only the strong survived. America became the strongest of nations because of that "manly" philosophy. Our government today seems like it is against strength as it attempts, through socialistic, progressive, and Marxist principles to create a society of wimps, in which the American dream can be little more than a handout. Businesses have obviously decided that the US is not worth it anymore. Despite government's official stance, it has been more than complicit in helping business execute its destructive plans to rid the US of major industry and suffer no consequences. The RRR plan addresses all of the sticky areas where corruption reins and corporations have been able to undermine what is good for America and Americans. The RRR plan is good for the economy. It is good for the people. It is good for jobs. And, for those corporations that want to sign up to be American-centric, it is good for corporations. It is the solution balm that offers a gutsy, unique, real, and workable path to get America back on its feet. There is nothing like it anywhere else. All we need is the resolve for the RRR plan to make us successful.I hope you enjoy this book and I hope that it inspires you to take action to help change the way you think about corporations, unions, government, taxes, spending, immigration, mercantilism and whole host of other items that can help America survive this major recession. I hope you digest the entire RRR plan, be willing to adopt it, and add to it your own positive notions, and please tell Donald Trump this type of plan can help him in his desire to "Make America Great Again ."

Wilkes-Barre PA has been a dying city. It is time we who live here pick ourselves up by the bootstraps and begin our return to gloryIn the middle of the last century, Wilkes-Barre's population was approaching 90,000. Today it is 43,000. This did not happen overnight. Over the years, many of the city's kind benefactors, such as the Kirby family, helped keep the city vibrant. Whenever it needed a boost, they were there to rejuvenate. Having had half the population move out of town, Wilkes-Barre no longer could count on a local family to be there at the right time with the right answer. Wilkes-Barre saw its population declining with the mines no longer sustaining the city. We noticed stores, even the best of the best shutting down or moving out from necessity. We all noticed that other businesses that once provided hundreds of jobs not being able to continue. .Mark Twain once said that "The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." Wilkes-Barre officials and residents over the years have heard the death knell for the city and instead of contesting it fiercely, allowed it to happen. Like Twain, our demise has been greatly exaggerated. Those times are in the past. Wilkes-Barre can and must find its way out of the mire and return to glory. May good leadership help Wilkes-Barre find a way to reclaim its future. Those with grew up in this City, as well as those who love our Diamond City, will enjoy this book.

IBM is the oldest commercial computer company in the world. Its roots spring from the merger of The International Time Recording Company Computing Scale Company, and the Tabulating Machine Company in the 19th century. The merged company became known as International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) in 1924. IBM has coined many terms such as word processing, teleprocessing, and eBusiness over its 100 years of operation. The company has also done the background work for many computer sub-industries, such as disk, tape, data communications, personal computer, relational database, RISC processing, microchips, mainframes, and of course the IBM PC & others.IBM continues to be the leader in mainframe computers and cloud computing, though at one time it dominated all areas of computing. Over the years, IBM's concentration on mainframes permitted billionaires to be created in sub- industries, in which IBM unwittingly chose not to compete. For example, Bill Gates, who supplied just two software products for IBM's 1981 PC is now the richest man in the world. IBM could have been a much more successful company if it had paid attention to its many different businesses. Since IBM did not pay attention, there are tens of thousands of extra millionaires & billionaires in the computer field, who one day should stop and thank IBM for their success. That's what this book is about Just say: Thank You IBM

This is the story of how IBM helped today's technology millionaires and billionaires gain vast fortunes. This edition of the book is as current as the second edition. However, It has less pages because a section not in the original was added to the second edition. This edition is your best bet to learn the essence of the book without a lot more reading and a lot more expense. IBM is the oldest commercial computer company in the world.

This book is about a dream. In the dream I came to know that this dream can come true. It was a dream about described to me what IBM needs to do to become # 1 again in the Information Technology Industry. And, so I was compelled to write this book: I Had a Dream that IBM Could Be # 1 AgainI had a dream. I am not kidding. It was less than a week ago after I had prepared my newest book, Thank You IBM for sale on Kindle. IBM was on my mind for some reason. With 23 years of employment at IBM, I have a lot of recollections of Big Blue that come back to me too often when I am sleeping. This was a nice IBM dream. It had an impact on me. I think IBM can do it.In this new dream after 23 years of IBM, I was thinking about how special it was to be part of IBM over the years. To be favored with a job with IBM was impressive unto itself. I dreamt that IBM could be #1 again and it start by making its employees feel like I felt while working for this great company during the Watson years. Besides a profound change in management philosophies which I will explain. IBM needs a secret weapon to become #1 again. The good news is IBM has that weapon and it would not take much to deploy it. This books tells what the weapon is; where it came from; why this weapon is so great; and how IBM can use it to definitely become #1 again.

Just as in 1776, todays Americans are overtaxed and lacking genuine representation. Brian Kelly wrote this book because our representatives, both nationally and locally, have abandoned their duties as agents of the people and forgotten our role as fundamental voices in a constitutional democracy. Twenty consecutive years of non-responsive Presidencies, unprotected borders, and a Congress with more blame to go around than accomplishments yields a catastrophic failure of a report card. Kelly illustrates how public servants are so overwhelmed with self interests, special interests, the interests of corporations and the interests of other countries that they have no time to work for the people. He eviscerates, with cogence and gusto, the veneer of honor cloaking some of our nation's most dishonorable public servants. Something went critically awry between 1776 and now. After depicting the problem, your author unearths a cornucopia of political trickeries aimed at taking our money, including a litany of creative taxes imposed against U.S. citizens. He then embarks on a no-holds-barred safari through some of America's most crippling domestic problems, fueled by representative negligence, corporate power, and greed. He questions the modern role of Unions. From there, your author explains the nations emergent problems of visa abuse, the selling out of American jobs, and the unhealthy impact of illegal foreign nationals on the lives of American citizens. He explores the lack of free and honest elections, recounting recent judicial decisions and the push for fraud-prone voting machines. Despite its grave insights, the book animates at all times a spirit of hope and impetus for change which can help direct all efforts to avoid another Boston Tea Party.I hope you enjoy reading this book and that you will remain vigilant and take the actions necessary to ensure that this experiment in democracy, the United States of America, can continue persevering for centuries upon centuries. I wish you the best -Brian P. Kelly, Publisher
