"Does the NC sound so simple when you add all the necessary features to make it flexible enough to be practical for the typical knowledge worker?" McPeely: yes, it will be transparent to the user. Thanks for the NC plug. By the way, why don't you stick to topics that you have some inkling of knowledge about? Are you just another BS "spin doctor" from Redmond?

Mr. McPeely, allow me a moment of your time before you click on (with your Java ring) The Masters. I was wondering. If you ban PCs for all of your minions at sunw, how are they to be productive when flying? I don't get it. Any normal worker bee would just crack open the notebook and get to work. What do YOU do to stay productive, that is when there isn't a game on, while flying for business? Also, you spend plenty of time talking about the wave of appliances that will soon be upon us. But a question for you before you get up for another beer. The only REAL set top box that sells now is MSFT's WEB TV. It sells more and more each month. You bought DIBA, but where is the product? Also, you are starting to see many hand held computers based on CE, but nary a one based on JAVA OS. Where are they? If you don't start getting them out, won't msft have built a large lead? And you know what happens when msft gets a lead. They had 2000 developers at a CE conference!!! Now it looks like Sony is getting behind CE in a major way, and just a week or so since the java love fest!! But I have to hand it to you. You did bag the ELEPHANT, MOTOROLA. What a coup!!! I'm sure that java will be just the thing they need to lead them out of their funk. DIBA, DIBA. Come out come out, wherever you are. Now I know you have to run. Tiger's about to tee off.
