Dermot,

>>And finally the IBM question

IBM ranks #1 in the U.S. for patents, the fifth year in a row.
Of the 1724 patents received by IBM in 1997, 550 were software-related and another 250 were related to network computing.

A PowerPC running at 1000 MHZ and running Java might be considered a serious threat to Wintel domination. Bad-mouth IBM all you want but they could bury MSFT if they could get away with what MSFT keeps pulling.

Cheers,

Norm
