- This leads to a question which I have had since I heard about IBM's
- proposed cutbacks: just what are Gateway, Dell, etc. without a strong,
- at least somewhat innovative IBM? I was under the impression that
- most PC R&D is done by IBM. Just how viable is the clone industry now
- that IBM is in trouble? Come to that, just HOW much trouble is IBM
- in? Surely it isn't in as bad shape as Wang ended up in !?
