I am seeing more and more advertising put out by IBM. Hopefully NCDI will start having lower advertising costs. I am seeing more and more negative projections on database software. Wonder if Ellison doesn't feel as comfortable with his bottom line and is being forced to start saving money? Also..had an interesting chat with one of my friends about javascript. I was telling her the beauty of it since it relied so heavily on the client side and not on the server side. ( She is beginning to take care of the web applications at her office and has been working on the server side and as yet hasn't been using javascript etc). She said that server side is better. I countered by saying she forgot that I have been pushing nc's for so long and I wasn't contradictioning myself. If the browsers were all loaded from the server side, especially since the internet software is changing more rapidly than anything I have ever witnessed, it is another plus since it would give the webdesigners the latest versions of javascript which seems so portable besides solving a lot of problems for static websites. Even HTML is getting more and more portable with emphasis put on relative urls rather than absolute urls. I just can't believe these analysts are getting paid money who focus on "bells and whistles" rather than on common sense and productivity. So many people have talked about how technology has increased productivity in corporations but few mention all the horrendus problems..a lot which can be solved by ncs. Also the latest IBM announcement about their breakthrough in their gargantuan new storage capabilities intuitionally should also strengthen the nc use. Now if only earnings would start kicking in :(
