RE: PC era over

So Lou has finally got the word. Over for IBM, maybe, but for DELL? Over for U.S., maybe, but for China? Maybe Lou should talk to Larry Ellison. Vast sounds of silence on the network computer coming from that quarter. Larry's probably too busy actually beating the bushes selling software to waste time on that lame idea. I speak with the authority of the working classes when I say that the NC idea is an ill-concealed attempt to control the desktop from headquarters and to stop us working stiffs from playing games and surfing on company time. The Chinese government might prefer NC's to PC's, but never in America. The bosses and the Washington thugs will never be able to get away with this. Access to your own hard-drive and floppy is a constitutional right of privacy -- First amendment, I think, or something to do with equal protection and due processor.
