In case anyone wants to know, just a few years ago, I discovered that many reports from ComputerWorld are bloated. Less than half of the stories from ComputerWorld are actual facts, the remainder is filled with editorial opinions.

Opinions are NOT Facts.

I've been involved with computers for 24 years... 99% of my Computer/IT skills are from the USA. I grew up in Seattle, Washington USA (AKA CyberCity, USA) and have visited Silicon Valley in California, several times.

Have a nice day, everybody!
