     You're getting funnier by the minute.  For four years running IBM
has been issued more US patents than any other company.  Do you 
honestly believe none of those technologies has been delivered in a 
timely fashion?  Have a look at http://patent.womplex.ibm.com and tell
me if you don't feel horribly foolish...

     By the way, OpenDoc was Apple's baby, not IBM's.
