"At LinuxWorld, IBM to announce that it received more than $1 billion in revenue from Linux sales, plus a slew of product and new customer announcements.
Linux Brings In $1 Billion in Revenue for IBM
NEW YORK—IBM executives are preparing to announce at the LinuxWorld trade show here that the company received more than $1 billion in revenue from sales of Linux-based software, hardware and services in 2002."
http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Linux-and-O...venue-for-IBM/
See the date? They've made their first billion from Linux back then.
And.... wanna know about 'IBM the hardware company?'
Code:1.1 Business Segments[2] 1.1.1 Global Services (57% of Revenue) 1.1.2 Systems and Technology (18% of Revenue) 1.1.3 Software (23% of Revenue) 1.1.4 Global Financing (2% of Revenue)
Yeah, take a guess which of those 4 are the part where they 'sell hardware'.
Ok, you're getting enough free education from me. If you want to learn more, I'll be chargin you some tuition fees.
I ain't givin free clues to clueless peeps no more.

[...]

information?
information is a necessary though no sufficient condition to rationality.
what is your definition?
unconfirmed & unverifiable?
cheap piece of advice: there is NO information about the "disruptive technology" 'til 21st (@ least); stop wasting your time.
