I do not disagree with your post. We shall see what a company NCR is 5-7 years from now and how much less a hardware company it will be. I'm glad that you're confident about Q4 and Q1. -Al

Mister T: Thanks for the post. It's encouraging to hear such a positive view from inside. Sounds like morale is good -- a factor I think is often given too little weight.

I'm very encouraged by NCR's continuing announcements of new products in the electronic commerce areas. I remain baffled by banks that buy banks at 3-5X book apparently to establish a branch market presence. Here we are on the cusp of the govt eliminating the paper check (waive good bye to the social security check), and ATM's are appearing on the side of every Circle K. I haven't paid cash for gasoline or groceries for years. Sure looks to me like NCR is one of the significant toll booths in this business. How this relates to the article in Barron's, I don't know. I do know that I have considered Barron's articles to be a soft source of info - like a magazine, or even Readers Digest - often dated and simplistic. A five minute read. Having it on line is a blessing, since you don't have to throw it away. Meanwhile, NCR oem's the servers for Dec and Sequent. Dec and Sequent have announced an alliance to port Dec Unix/NT to IA64. And they made a big deal about the advantages of this approach vs. Solaris. NCR is porting Solaris to IA 64. Are these just random events?

Mr. T, What is the status of this innovative NCR product. ncr.com They annouced it early last year along with installation in some US Army Bases. Haven't heard anything about it since then. Is the R&D still in progess? Do you have a layman explantion for "Reflex Passive" technology. What does WallMart and the army think of the Citizen displays and the RF operation? Is this one of the product areas that the new CEO is touting for new growth? I understand that ESL is supposely ready to take off. Appreciate your comments. Thanx in advance. An interested lurker.
