There are, it's called Linux and it will be available to consumers before years end. It will cut into MSFT biz. Then there is Apples rebirth under Jobs, as predicted. Bloatware is going onto the scrap heap....... As to Greenspan, the blame on him is very misplaced at the moment. His Jackson Hole comments were, and some folks that have more than a marble in their heads are saying so, taken out of context. Blame the media. Still and all inflation is on the rise. Computer chips, mainly memory are much higher. 64M Drams on the spot market rose $10 this past week. Oil is steady at around $22, which starts to works it's way through the wholesale chain.

On the technology front: Two interesting articles for the day. dailynews.yahoo.com Yep, we will have holographic human appearing personnal assistants in 10 years that will run the household.

(Nasdaq:COMS) and Aether Systems Inc., is expected to offer wireless service on a Palm III and Palm V by the first quarter of next year. "I think that would give the Palm VII a lot to answer for," said Jill House, an analyst at International Data Corp. in Framingham, Mass. OpenSky's service will differ from Palm's Palm.net service in a couple of key ways, according to company president Pat McVeigh. First of all, it will offer flat rate CDPD service through four carriers. Palm offers only measured service for Palm.net, which can add up for heavy users. One customer said that he pays more than $200/month for Internet service on his Palm VII handheld device. $200 a month to use the Pam VII? CDPD isn't dead? Tsk tsk. Happy Birthday Government venture capital financed Internet. PSU #2
