Hi List!

I ran across this article on ABCNews.com...perhaps some of the rest of you
have read about it elsewhere...here's the link...

I guess we all knew that full-featured computing would eventually be
provided in smaller and smaller devices, but with the advent of hand-held
machines, such as the Palm Pilot, I, for one, was gearing up to become a
dyed-in-the-wool XML coder. Now, I'm not so sure that it will even be
needed...at least in the mainstream of the Web. The so-called "appliances"
that are being developed will still use XML, because of its parsimonious
nature, but as for me, "Give me HTML and CSS, or give me death!"<grin>

Food for thought,

Mike
