Apple, RIM: An Historic Collapse in U.S. Corporate IT Spending

To Hayweed, this is a note from an older English teacher. The adjective article "an" has historically come in front of vowels and the "h" sound. Any good grammar book will back that up and Microsoft Word understands the use as well. Common modern usage has caused the rule to change slightly; however, "An Historic" is definitely not incorrect.

The lesson here is that to write correctly you need one level of education and you appear to have that. To provide guidance and leadership takes a bit more. The good news is that to get to the higher level virtually everyone makes blunders. Count this as one of your "learning blunders" and keep pressing on.

This lesson applies to the article as well. Getting the Blackberry Storm right will take some time. Kudos to RIM for getting out of their "comfort zone" and trying something new with a touch screen. It's good to seem the pushing the limits and developing the technology even if their first product isn't as great as Apple's.
