I'm very encouraged by NCR's continuing announcements of new products in the electronic commerce areas. I remain baffled by banks that buy banks at 3-5X book apparently to establish a branch market presence. Here we are on the cusp of the govt eliminating the paper check (waive good bye to the social security check), and ATM's are appearing on the side of every Circle K. I haven't paid cash for gasoline or groceries for years. Sure looks to me like NCR is one of the significant toll booths in this business. How this relates to the article in Barron's, I don't know. I do know that I have considered Barron's articles to be a soft source of info - like a magazine, or even Readers Digest - often dated and simplistic. A five minute read. Having it on line is a blessing, since you don't have to throw it away. Meanwhile, NCR oem's the servers for Dec and Sequent. Dec and Sequent have announced an alliance to port Dec Unix/NT to IA64. And they made a big deal about the advantages of this approach vs. Solaris. NCR is porting Solaris to IA 64. Are these just random events?
