This article is interesting. Call the Feds: Larry and Oracle stock price have vanished! www5.zdnet.com Federal Express has had a mondo RFP for thin clients out for more than a year, with every major hardware vendor making a pitch for the contract. FedEx hasn't made its final decision yet, but at least one company has been bounced from consideration. An insider reports that IBM failed to make the cut because Big Blue chose to go with a FedEx competitor for its overnight delivery service. The check for this deal is most certainly not in the mail, at least not to an Armonk P.O. box. What's behind the secret development work that JavaSoft has dubbed Project Phoenix? To many who believe The Truth Is Out There, "Project Phoenix" is better known as the world's most sensitive and omprehensive search for extraterrestrial intelligence.(Maybe that's why JavaSoft President Alan Baratz made a reference in his Internet World keynote to Ellison being abducted by aliens.) The Gray-Whiskered One also recalls a "Phoenix Project" from the Vietnam era, in which U.S. soldiers used to drop uncooperative VC (not venture capitalists) out of helicopters. Either way, JavaSoft seems to be a bit code name-challenged. ---
