"The PC is dead"/ "The PC is not dead".........would this guy make up his mind? I like MD's consistent, simple message much better..."The PC is going to be around, get used to it...." China, India, Brazil...oh boy...

Scott re: Gerstner would not acknowledge whether or not IBM would sell its PC business,but he declared that "network computing was ascendant, and the era of PC networking is over. "The PC is not dead," he said. "PCs will be joined by networked handheld devices." Thank you for a very interesting post. I am in need of some help in understanding what Gerstner meant when he said, "the era of PC networking is over." If any one could elaborate I would appreciate it very much. Mike
