Data Dog
A colleague found that the hard drive on his 6 year old PC which had all this
data and work from 2001 blew on him.. and as he was telling me this he sighs
and says, "You know what, i had this really nice picture of my Dog that i
absolutely loved!". It is so true, you never know the value of something until
you don't have it anymore!!

TODAY'S IT BLOGWATCH
_____________________
Microsoft Feb stock slide steepens (and radicon)
Oh dear. It's Monday's IT Blogwatch: in which all is not well in Redmond after
Steve Ballmer's analyst briefing. Not to mention the IAEA's new symbol for
radioactivity...
Robert Mullins reports:
Microsoft Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer believes that sales forecasts for the
company's new Vista operating system may be overly aggressive. In a conference
call yesterday with financial analysts, Ballmer said lower selling prices,
limited new corporate sales and software piracy may combine to temper Vista
sales.
