came across this earlier. some interesting information.

- Article suggests Apple will switch to intel chips next year....hhmmmm (choice is good IMO)

- Delineating the difference between PDA, cellular phone, smart phone, communicator and even what constitutes a laptop will become more difficult as devices taken on aspects of other categories in an effort to grow market share

- IT security budgets will officially remain flat

In 2003, “we don’t call it CRM”, I wonder what it will be called? any takers?

Sounds like an interesting 2003 :)

I kinda like Customer Relationship Management. Good term. I am excited to see smaller laptops. I'm waiting for a small notebook-size laptop with instant on like a PDA and windows compatibility. That will be a useful machine. It will need a full keyboard and letterbox screen for qquick notes.

Someone get on this project, please? :)

<soap-box>I've decided to drop the Customer Relationship Management moniker. It's a human relationship - not a shipment of parts. You manage parts, you interact with people.

Besides, it's bad enough some companies run their businesses with made up numbers. They also created a whole new language - very confusing to the layperson - intentional? So, I prefer not to describe my business with their made up words. My clients prefer straight-forward explanations. Besides using anything associated with the likes of Enron and WorldCom seems like bad karma to me.</soap-box>
