Hi Franz - Off topic - I'm a bit amused at Lou's comments, simply because IBM in it's latest quarterly report is saying things are getting better for it in the PC space. I do think that IBM can do well if they concentrate on areas where their technology prowess can produce a superior product. Thinkpads would be THE area in my estimation. In fact, IBM is starting another push into the consumer laptop space, and their new machine looks very good. It's called the Inote, and for two grand comes with a 13.3" active matrix screen, 266mhz Pentium, and built in CDROM/Floppy, along with 64 meg ram and a 4GB hard drive. Also has a front panel where you can play music CD's with the machine turned off. The large TFT screen and RAM included for the price makes this a very attractive product.
