(johnmac -- The paragraph in this article that states "For
most of the 1990's, the biggest show was a computer
exposition, Comdex. But now that computing hardware and
software are considered simply the raw ingredients of consumer
electronics, the show represents the vanguard of technology in
taking sound and images - from a baby's first steps to the
climax of a Hollywood blockbuster - and shrinking them to the
size of a sugar cube. Or expanding them to fill a wall. Or
transmitting them in an instant out to the patio, or around
the world. All without wires, please." is absolutely correct
-- and this means that THIS IS WHERE THE NEW JOBS ARE --
Gaming, Wireless, True MultiMedia (and cryptography, security,
artifical intelligence, and Nanotechnology). It's not that the
IT jobs are gone; it's that many are DIFFERENT from what they
were).
