Ok, ok, so you guys are old^Hexperienced. .

There is however a general market fervour about the subjects MP3 & Linux. Just take a look at linuxcare, VA Systems, etc for loads of insane IPO and floatations on the back of 'trendy' technologies.

In part, I think that this is what has caused the rise (and fall) of some of the technology indicies (NASDAQ is an obvious example - and TECHMARK in Europe).

I guess ARM is less prone to this.

Don't get me wrong - these are still great technologies and I've been contributing to the linux community since kernel 1.12.....! (I'm also an author to the linuxdoc project.).

Anyway, this is getting way of mark!

Cheers,

Paul.
