Yogi, RE--IBM says PC era over. Sounds like sour grapes. Apple and IBM were the stars of the early PC era. Apple is just starting to make a comeback now, as a much smaller player with an insignificant market share. IBM never was able to make any money off the PC, in spite of being credited with popularizing the personal computer, or setting the standard for the PC.
So Gerstner figures, let's move on, to an area where IBM can make some real money for a change. Network computing. Wasn't Oracle (and Sun and others) already pushing that idea?
Let's face it, with the way PC prices have been dropping, it's hard to get really enthusiastic about the profit potential in making PCs.

Larry
PS--I admire the way you apologized to PX. >>>>Your postings, research, and opinions have always been informative, well presented, and invaluable to me personaly.<<<<
PPS---Why hasn't anyone ever said that my postings have any research, are informative, or well presented? Usually, when someone mentions me, they say my opinions tend to wander. But I guess that's the result of a well-traveled mind.
