Interesting.  Reminds me of a question I tossed to Brian Behlendorf
after reading (the otherwise very good) _Social Life of Information_ by
John Sealy Brown.  Which I just realized now is a very strong
pre-criticism of the offshoring phenomenon....

JSB, working for "The Document Company", Xerox, fails to include more
than a token reference to the Web (if at all), and none at all for
Apache.  Which, as a "document engine", likely turns out more pages in a
day than all of Xerox's capacity does in a month or a year.  I found
this to be a very telling oversight.

And in a roundabout way for a roundabout post, I'll note that the Dow
Jones Industrial Average was rejiggered again today.  Among the outs are
Kodak, International Paper, and AT&T.  Among the ins, Verizon, AIG, and
Pfizer.  I don't recall if Xerox ever _was_ among the 30, but its day is
long past.  It's the end of emulsion, paper, and landlines.  But
\/|@gr/\, finance, and cell phones?

Hmm.


Peace.
