That's typical. Management of large corporations typically live in a 
different world that is not congruent to reality. I've seen this time and 
again at many places -- Commodore, ADP, First Data, etc. The management at 
Cisco Systems do seem to have half a clue, but Cisco has other issues. 
Still, Cisco is the best big company I've ever worked for. Commodore was the 
worst in a lot of ways, but it was still cool working for the company that 
made the Amiga possible. We used to lament the foibles of "Upper" Management 
there all the time, and the "wonderful" marketing force Commodore had. In 
fact, it was a running joke that:

How would Commodore market Sushi?
Cold, Dead, Raw Fish.

May Commodore Rest In Peace. That is one big Cold, Dead, Raw Fish that 
expended great effort to put itself in the grave. Much to the frustration of 
us engineers.
