Brian, you said > I believe the next "Big Thing" will come from such a company as "Big Blue" < They excel in research, but can anyone name a break-through product IBM has marketed lately?

The micro drive that will go into PDAs and other things is an IBM invention. They sold the Business to Hittachi and a friend in the S. Bay might get laid off after many years at IBM.
