this K-Winter has stretched the debt attack on transportation

in past K-Winters, railroads and cars were decimated
sure, in this one, airlines and cars will be destroyed

but step back and examine which other transportations segments got their nuts cut off
wireless, fiberoptic, internet, networkers
I believe we will see the computer segment join in the decimation, as an extension to the transportation world
it makes perfect sense
networking with routers and switches joins the server computers

overcapacity and overuse of debt in the computer world is already causing some near death experiences
we have seen mergers of HP and Compaq
some PC makers will go down soon

in 1930 some radio companies went bust
in 2000 many telecom companies went bust
I think before this is over, we will see computer companies going bust, in extension

I differ
I really like Scott McNealy
he and Larry Ellison of Oracle are the standard bearers opposing Microsoft's illegal dominance
as Unix servers go, so goes SunMicro
but Oracle will move along just fine, maybe some pain
