Bob Metcalfe is just another example of a computer journalist caught up 
in the buzzwords of the current technology.  It's sad to see such rubbish 
in news, but hey, it's how they make the money.  It's very disappointing 
that he attempts to DEFEND his cluelessness against some of the BEST in 
the industry.

Bob, I recommend you go back to covering hog prices for the local paper.
