Idiot of the new millenium award !!!! sb20011 (39/M/NY) 01/01/2000 01:32 pm EST This article calls Sun the "Leader" in internet servers. Then compacts Compaq !!! No DAMN respect. From Forbes via WSJ. Computers: Industry BUZZ BY Julie Pitta 01/10/2000 Forbes Page 108bx1 Copyright 2000 Forbes Inc. "The big trend is to move from general to specialized computers. The PC is giving way to the MP3 player, the videogame machine and smart cell phones." --MATTHEW NORDAN, ANALYST, FORRESTER RESEARCH -- Look for storage-device makers to have another good year. Business buyers and consumers have an insatiable appetite for more disk-drive capacity. Data storage demand is projected to increase fivefold by the year 2003. -- Compaq Computer will continue to struggle. Neither the Digital Equipment nor the Tandem acquisitions were able to move Compaq beyond its core market: selling PCs. Look for Dell to topple Compaq from its number one spot in the PC market next year. -- BIG WINNERS: Sun Microsystems and IBM. Java, clever advertising and rock-solid systems have made Sun the top supplier of Internet computer servers. Venerable IBM is hot again, particularly for larger Web sites that value the company's legendary reliability.
