Good luck on the hunt, if the weather is the same as here it should be easy pickings. More than I can say for Corel selling hardware. It doesn't make a whole lot of difference if Joe bloe software purchaser doesn't like MS products. MS money train, like IBM's in the 70's and 80's, is in corporate business sales. If GM (not to say that they buy MS or Corel) were to buy the latest MS office product, it would require approx. 200,000 sales of the competition's product. Even if the NC takes off (its still extremely unlikely), corporations will buy from IBM, SUN, etc... Corporations usually stick with stable, dependable hardware vendors. They're IBM's tried and true-blue bread and butter companies. I don't think Corel will go bankrupt, even if they did let Rod run the company. If the jBridge product doesn't succeed, they'll probably be bought out by some company (maybe Computer Associates, or someone that could use the products as empty fillers and add-on sales tools). As far as destroying MS, they have been re-fashioning and old saying: "You can go wrong with picking Microsoft" It used to be IBM and Xerox. The future of Corel will be their success/failure with jBridge. But even if that succeeds, 2-3 years down the road, they'll need another product to enter "whatever" that market will require. Ciao!
