Hmm doesn't this look like a North vs. South deal?
Heck if they cant decide who to have as President lets let Nader subsititute for a year. Or lets just cut up and have two Presidents, one for fuzzy issues and another for egocentric technology creation.:o)
Seems like it beats my schedule lately.
Rise 7am shower get dressed goto work.
Fix all the pc's that the normal techs can't repair because there incompetent or buggin the heck outta ya for how-to type questions.
Go onsite, setup a network (hopefully), install a T1 router or so, or do the normal I forgot ma AOL password help.
Come back to work, forced to fix more problems. Look up this answer etc. Oh and we want you too do some web page work too before you get home. Can't finish one thing because someone wants you to to another urgent task.
Stay late and finish up stuff like a loyal employee and not get any appreciation for it.
Gee, if only everyone could disappear or I could do some of this stuff elsewhere.:o)
There decision to not produce any Crusoe notebooks at this time is probably their market strategy more than anything.
In the retail world IBM notebooks are generally bulkier with the same amount of features of a comparable vendors model and costs significantly more. They mighy be worried about the hit to their other products if a comparable item could be offered for less than another of its models.
I wouldn't put it past them as holding of to see how popular they are either, before tryin to see how much they can market a product with the processors in them.
After it all it is a new processor generally the public is weary of anything that doesn't say 'Intel inside'. It's mostly geeks that would jump right on these and IBM has mostly leaned towards the corporate pencil pushers and their desires.

Ok, now that I read that I think its time to go back school and figure out what they said. :o)
