re: FedEx I can't really speak for them, but I can offer some thoughts. I think there are several things going on, one being a bit of hesitation due to the general confusion in the 'thin client' market. There is a disproportionate amount of noise in the market right now considering the relative size of the actual thin desktop opportunity, and that always causes delays. The rhetoric battle is really at a tremendous pitch right now because you're seeing the first real threat to the WinTel dominance. It is actually as big or bigger than the whole Internet/Netscape events of the past couple of years. I have to believe that this didn't escape the notice of FedEx.

Hi- did you hear the latest Oracle advertisement..wonder if NCDI could legally intervene.. spent time with a friend who has a webtv and is computer illiterate.. he has turned into a hacker on webtv..creating signatures..he can write a homepage and doesn't even realize it..he has created banners, sounds,etc on his email..was I impressed..(wonder what Microsoft will look like it five years..a multimedia company competing with tv networks,US postoffice and television stations?_) also I didnt think it would happen this soon but in a catalog from Egghead..there is a company now offering backing up ones system in cyberspace..first month or something is free and after that you pay storage fees.. I just wonder though if corporations are going to be tight with their money until their year 2000 problems are fixed...
