Geez Tim!!! Why don't you post the link while you're stirring us up???!!!!!! Now I have to go and look for it!! Ahhh..... there it is!!!!! mitac.com.tw May 27, 1998 -- MiTAC Incorporated and Netscape recently signed an Electronic Commerce Cooperation pact to capitalize on the booming Internet market in Asia Pacific region. Internet commerce is expected to generate well over US$333billion within the next five years. MiTAC will offer its expertise in system integration and expert knowledge of the region, while Netscape will provide its expertise in Internet software. Together, the two companies will offer full-scale EC solution and service to corporate users. Netscape will provide product, technology and consulting while MiTAC will offer tailor-made applications and after-service to meet clients' needs.
