      How many remember our partnership with Unisys?  It seems
    that they're ready to come back.  [And no, I'm not bitter!]

    Unisys, a maker of mainframe computers, announced Thursday
    that it is
    teaming up with Microsoft Corp. and Dell Computer Corp. to
    create a
    technology-based system that could replace what many call
    antiquated
    ballot-counting machines now scattered across the country.

    Unisys (NYSE: UIS ), based in Blue Bell, Pa., will act as an
    integrator of
    the various technologies that will be used to create the
    voting system.
    Dell (Nasdaq: DELL) will supply the computers, touch-screen
    monitors, and
    keyboards, while Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) will create the
    software to
    operate the system, a Unisys representative said.

    This coalition is one of the more recent efforts announced.
    It will face a
    slew of players--from start-ups that focus solely on voting
    systems to
    other tech giants such as IBM--that are also salivating at
    the opportunity
    to replace the much-maligned systems now in use.
