If I were Pat Russo, the Alcatel CEO-in-waiting, my biggest worry would be Paris in the spring. Not the weather, but the riots. The government and big employers are in a quandary because of France's traditional stability when it comes to employment.

Spring is in the air, and a person’s fancy turns to - summer vacation. Wasn’t it great, as a kid, to get three months off during the summer?

It's springtime again when an IT storage executive's fancy turns to... conferences. At least that is what's on my schedule for the next few weeks.
