Bob Gilbertson will talk at the Intranet and Extranet Conference and Exposition (around Sep 23rd - Too late for my Sep $12.5s) - This might help explain the recent upward momentum: biz.yahoo.com
Excerpts:
"The question "What exactly is an `extranet'" is about to be answered. At next week's intranet + extranet Conference and Exposition (i+e), sponsored by Gartner Group and Expocon Management Associates, about 100 leading proponents of intranet and extranet technology will showcase their solutions and make product announcements surrounding this new IT industry buzzword. " ...
"The extranet focus of the i+e event has managed to capture the imagination of a significant number of industry powerhouses, most notably the "Big Six" firms. Arthur Andersen, Coopers & Lybrand, Deloitte & Touche, Ernst & Young, and KPMG Peat Marwick are all taking part in i+e and several of them plan to make major announcements and present case studies from their electronic commerce practices. "
...
"Also just announced as a keynote speaker is Bob Gilbertson, CEO, Network Computing Devices, who will open up the i+e Pre- Conference on Network Computing, sponsored by netWorker magazine, a publication of the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery). The Pre-Conference will be held Monday at the nearby ANA hotel.
Gilbertson's address is titled, "Network Computer: The Fourth Wave," during which time, he will discuss how, in less than 18 months, "The network computer has gone from a dubious idea to an enterprise inevitability. Despite the hype, the NC -- or thin client -- is not a radical departure from what came before. It's simply the next, better...computing's Fourth Wave." "
