Why would anyone care about Open Doc when I.B.M. is on a "around the
clock 24hr Java alert" !

Between spending most of their time porting things to Windows NT and
Java they have little time for much else.

Next year who knows what it will be.

The thing I can't understand is how a company like I.B.M. stays in
business after consistently creating good technology products and 
letting them die -- along with the suckers they convinced to buy it.

It seems like the giant pool of suckers should be getting smaller.
