Tony, time you took a break. Take a vacation. Go back to New Hampshire, Maine, or Mass - in your old stomping grounds and visit some of the old factories and warehouses.
Mary, I'd love to, but I missed the foliage season.
Keep in mind that I keep saying Fortune 500 type companies when I estimate the class of PC that business is using. I know the mom and pop shops may struggle with a P133 still. 486, no, no new OS will run well on it, and the 4 - 8 Megs it may have on it.
The Fortune 500 types, believe it or not, are going ecommerce, business to business big time for sourcing and procurement activities. I've heard CEOs at GE and Boeing say over and over that they must use the Internet, Intranets, or die. These are the F500s I mean. Do you mean to tell me they are going to saddle their employees with 5 year old PCs when they say they're betting the company on the Internet and ebusiness?
So, I'm a Si Valley bigot y'all say, but the F500 companies, last I checked, are spread out all over the country.
