OK, I'll give Jodie a solid B for his appearance. It wasn't a scripted interview and as a brand new CEO he handled himself very well. I think the telling point was the fact that he would say 'I don't know, yet' when he was in unfamiliar territory. This is good. He didn't 'wing it'. He also stressed that 'predictability' and top line growth was one of IOM's goals with regard to Wall Street. When I think back to Gerstner's first couple of news interviews.. Jodie's was on-par. He will work up to an A, with experience. JMHO, Ben A. PS What's this 'built-in' encryption mechanism in all the IOM rotating products all about?

Glore not the most polished interview subject in the world.....but comes across as likable and said THE most important thing.....'we want Wall St to see us as fiscally PREDICTABLE'. Music download technology could be huge as it may get strong backing from entertainment industry. Interviewer was more than friendly to Glore.....actually helped him with a few prompts. Best of all there was no rolling of eyeball or snide comment from CNBC at end of interview. Good performance, but IOM would be well advised to get Glore some high level media training.....not sure how he'd do in more hostile environment.
