This will be a big plus for the NC. IBM teams for Chinese Java apps news.com IBM is partnering with Sun Microsystems on the implementation of the JavaOS for Business in Chinese "thin client," or network computing environments. --- And a very interesting article. Ralph Nader tells IBM to post OS/2 for free zdnet.com "We are writing to ask that IBM stop forcing customers who buy IBM personal computers to purchase Microsoft Windows," stated the Nader letter. "You should give your PC customers an opportunity to buy a non-Microsoft operating system, or at a minimum to permit the consumer to buy a PC from IBM without any operating system. --- Lets see if IBM has Big Kahunas or not. MS can't really control IBM could they? I sure know they can't control Sun. JMHO Mike

What has happened to all the postings? I think three things have happened. First, since this board is no longer free (but for a limited trial period) it has cut down the number of long term posters. Secondly, Java is no longer the controversy it was 3 years ago, and the more mundane issues of selling computers and software just does not irk people as before. This means that people like Addi and their nemesis Stockman have moved on. Lastly, more competition from free boards like Yahoo, have had their toll. On balance, I think it is a good thing to get rid of the hot money. It makes it easier to get in and out of a slow moving stock.
