I really have nothing against Jerry Pournelle, but I must make this comment...

He is giving a paper at NCC on the future of micros, no doubt because his 
opinion on the subject is respected. Unless I am taking his plea for help
too literally, he really doesn't have the foggiest idea of what should
happen or what will happen.

Prognosticators should have some level of confidence in their work, else 
some might be led down the wrong rosey path.

On the lighter side of things, having been asked to give papers at other
conferences, I too have some doubts in what I say, but I never let anyone
else in on it.
