Hi Ed
I checking back with you in 12 months!!
Well, PowerComputing is out of business. BeOS still has not
taken off. It seems that people are focussing on Java for platform
indepence even though it might be slower. Apple (I like the Mac but I
prefer the clone-PowerComputing PowerCenter Pro 180) seems to have taken a
wrong turn in ending licensing with most of the clone makers and again
appears to be in trouble!! Enough said.
Cheers, geoff
