Subject: Networkcentric



Listening to NPR this morning (which was not shut down by the budget

stalemate), I heard the IBM CEO (Gershner?) talk at the big computer

convention in Las Vegas (COMDEX?) about the future of computing as

"networkcentric"--a new word for me. Bill Gates (Mr. Microsoft), accused

of creating "fat" software, argued against this future. His money is still

on the PC. Even Tyrannosaurus Rex became extinct, however.
