Since late 2004 I have been lucky enough to have either worked from home or at an office no farther than a block or two away from my house. I can't stress enough how much time you will reclaim by not having to commute and the money is only

I think QNX is a neat platform but I really question whether this will be enough to save them. BBX looks like a blunt tool for what is probably a multifaceted cross-company problem. Edit: Apologies for the Business week article - I haven't
