Don't know whether IBM is going to fold or not, but I do know that they just
posted the biggest single-year loss of any company in the United States of
America.  The news article in the business section of our local paper had quite
a story about how 'unprofitable' things have become for IBM.  If memory serves,
IBM lost 5.2 billion dollars U.S.

The majority of Intel-clone manufacturers are in no danger unless IBM pulls
entirely out of the PC market and focuses on newer technologies.  The
Intel-clone market has gotten big due to corporate 'trust' in the technologies
of IBM.

We'll have to see what comes out of the 'Pink' project between Apple Computer
and IBM.  Let us hope that the stockholders don't force such projects to shut
down because they're more interested in short-term profits.
