Indy 4 is a go and IBM is bowing out

All the Indiana Jones fans get ready, Episode IV will be made according to Harrison Ford. Harrison said, "Lucas is happy with the script." Of course this is Mr. George Lucas of Star Wars fame. Read the article over at The Indy Experience. You gotta love some geek movies!

IBM fans may be in for a rude awakening. The company is thinking about getting out of the computer business. Even though my field PC is a newer Toshiba, my old ThinkPad laptop is a cherished relic that's still fun to use. Back in the day when IBM still made hard drives, these units were the only storage devices permitted in my PCs, IDE or SCSI. Almost bulletproof. Eric Bangeman has great post -> arstechnica. Also, read more info at CNET News. This may be a bit scary for American capitalists.

Had an early morning bout with a SCSI Linux PC and actually laid down and returned to the arms of Morpheus for a bit. After such a refreshing nap and some awesome Odyssey coffee (see the link on this page) it's time to "turn to" and swab the decks. Arrgghhh, matey!
