1. Data Storage Trends To Watch
------------------------------------------------------------
The tale is familiar: Enterprises are generating massive amounts of
data, and IT managers are scrambling to identify and purchase the most
cost-effective, easy-to-manage storage solutions available. But can
vendors deliver what cash-strapped companies want and need in 2003?...

2. Dell Dips Toe in Retail Waters
------------------------------------------------------------
Though it is widely praised for its cost-efficient online and phone
sales model, Dell now plans to try its hand at selling computers in
retail stores, installing sales kiosks at Texas Sears locations.
However, Dell noted, the moves do not indicate a change in its overall
direct sales focus...

3. Could IBM Be the Next Computer Chip King?
------------------------------------------------------------
Despite its strength in the mainframe chip and integrated circuit
markets, IBM has never entered the PC processor fray. Since the
announcement of the PowerPC 970 last October, however, that may be

------------------------------------------------------------
In "It's a Wonderful Life," Jimmy Stewart's character ends up on the
bridge, weighing whether to end his life over lost money. Eight thousand
dollars, to be exact. Fast forward to yesterday. AOL Time Warner tells
the world that it lost some money in 2002. About a hundred billion
dollars. Can we just have a minute to digest these numbers?...

5. Hidden Pitfalls
------------------------------------------------------------
A nostrum of the late '90s was to dump internally developed, custom
applications in favor of packaged applications. But the hidden costs of
those packaged apps are coming back to haunt many companies that
implemented them too hastily...

6. AOL-Microsoft? Not Likely, Just Logical
------------------------------------------------------------
Stop for a moment to consider AOL's multiple problems and Microsoft's
manifest strengths, and a logical -- if somewhat farfetched -- solution
emerges: Perhaps the two bitterest enemies on the Web should call a
truce long enough for AOL Time Warner to unload its stumbling online
service on voracious, cash-rich Microsoft...
