          IBM's hiring of RJR Nabisco head Louis Gerstner 
          earlier this month represented several significant 
          firsts for the company. It was the first time IBM 
          had ever hired a chief executive from outside its
          ranks. And it was the first time that IBM had ever 
          hired a chief executive with no computer industry 
          experience.

          Do you think Gerstner is the right man to turn 
          IBM around?
