That's like saying nothing will beat a cargo ship or train or 18 wheeler in terms of overall performance. But the measure of "overall performance" depends on our goals. I notice that the rising cost of oil have a variety of effects on how we transport things. Trains are getting more use relative to trucks. But we are also building greenhouses to redefine the problem of getting groceries from far away farmland to here. Same thing happens as our security, privacy, and even energy needs change how we do IS. And of course, size. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
