The industry is looking for that ho'shi'man moment more than ever. Since I have relatives and buddies in the comp. science business, I have been thinking about your article about the "next big thing" in our daily lives. I look at medical insurance claims and predict that if a software developers who can get a medical insurance claim processed like greased lightning, that would be a ho'shi'man product.

Peace Out,
