Thanks for yet another thought provoking post, cm, on "Back to Facts" (August 8). Seems to have floated past the watchful in these Summer doldrums, and was probably ignored by the balatrons of bombast, since it couldn't be mangled into a knee-jerk hype alert, but I digress.
One particular comment by Henry Blodgett, piqued my curiosity... He says that Microsoft wants >> "...to insure (sic) that they have a role in the post-personal computer world." << Now that's certainly out of the box. In the face of Linux, and free PC's, is he taking Gilder's vision of moving intelligence to the periphery of the network, one logical step further? Perhaps to the wireless world, for PDM / ISP / OS / content distrubution marketshare? Peter Sprague stated on CNBC, that his vision, a dozen years ago, of wanting his pager to deliver Calvin and Hobbes <g> was the genesis of Wave Systems. Is the prospect of the Wave enabled, broadcast capable, ultra PDM communicator, so far fetched?
Best regards,
