[Item Permalink] A Happy New Year! -- Comment()
Year 2003 was eventful, to say the least. And 2004 has the potential to be equally interesting.

I'm writing an 'vision article' on IT in 2004, and there certainly are a lot of areas to watch: online music stores, the Digital Hub/Media center concept, grid projects, next-generation broadband and wireless connections, etc.

I wish you an interesting next year!

Dear Ziff Davis Editors: 'In reading your The Year's Top 10 Tech Stories story, I was struck by the sub-head you used for the first entry: Open Source Finally Grows Up. What are you trying to say, really? I look forward to the day when your publication runs a front page story titled Microsoft Finally Grows Up or maybe Bill Gates Finally Grows Up, with the emphasis squarely on "finally" and "grows up."'[Jeremy Zawodny's blog]
