Know that the hardware is doing bulk of the work (99%) and software
is insignificant. Anyone with a pc can create a database like
oracle, sybase, informix, ms-sqlserver. Expect a 10,000 MHZ cpu
with 12 gig cache in year 2012AD! Hardware technology is advancing
very fast. IBM recently announced breakthru in hard disk storage which
implies disk storage capacity will be zooming in coming years.
Storage will be in the range of hundreds of gigabytes on single disk!!
Every country in this world (including Bangladesh/India/Pakistan) can
write excellent quality software but not all the countries can
manufacture hardware!
Do you know Internet is the world's largest software company!
The sun will never set on "Internet Empire". Around the clock 24 hours
a day someone is on the internet.

revolution world-wide.
