Uhhh.. you know quotes are nice but, again, remember when quotable IBM'ers
stated that OS/2 was *S*T*A*T*E*G*I*C* ????

perhaps there is an IBM dictionary somewhere that state what they really
meant, but if IBM can see STATEGIC as 1 to 2 years, then they can quote
anybody on anything and it will have the same meaning that it had in the
past...

NADA, ZIP, ZILCH, ZERO....

me... I'm buying a backhoe....
