Russ,
Interesting points. I hope we continie to keep a cultural edge. Yet I feel that the computer/communications revolution is really just starting now. The next five years should be amazing. The U.S. has been and is, on the cutting edge. Your point about Asian character sets is well taken, but I don't think that card has been played yet. It may be China or it may be China, Japan, Singapore, Tiawan and Korea etc. But when paperless communication becomes a necessity for the Asians to compete, there's still only one OS that fits the bill. After Japan's recent recession, I'm hearing that they are in a very open-minded mood.
I'll drop the topic now as it is eating up more bandwidth than I intended. Thanks for everyones patience and thanks for the interesting commentary.
As for next weeks earnings, I'm prayin' for a positive surprise, but I ain't holdin' my breath.
Regards,
Scott |
