Silicon Dairy hopes to milk Internet marketEven if you don't know a computer chip from a cow chip, the guys at Silicon Dairy can help you.
These four techies say it's time for Vermonters to have more say in who provides their link to the Web, and they intend to milk the Green Mountain State's interest in the Internet for all its worth.
Call it Vermont economic patriotism, or the bucking of a trend. These Burlingtonians are bent on proving they have a service Vermonters want and will support.
Silicon Dairy, the state's newest Internet service provider -- or ISP -- is up and running from its Queen City hub at the former Dockside Restaurant on Battery Street. Its creators plan to keep Web surfing revenues from migrating out of state while also providing quality service.

1999 was the year when many IBM employees' imageof their employer was shattered.
IBM had just switched its retirement plan into one that no longer rewarded long-time employees with heftier benefits. Under the new plan, retirement medical benefits were reduced, and some veteran workers saw cuts in pension payments.
Employees recalled the period as a dark time in IBM's history in Vermont, when workers said they felt a blunt shift in the tenor of daily life at the Essex Junction plant.
"It was clear that the company was no longer looking out for the interest of the employees as it had done in the past. Employees were now on their own," said Kemerer, who called himself a Watson-era employee after the former IBM chief executive known to have been very employee-centric. "It became a customer-driven place where the employees were a distant second."
The bad taste of those days lingers still.
IBM manufacturing worker Earl Mongeon described a "mass exodus" of employees in the wake of the pension change.

IBM is thriving, but for how long?A year after the state's top private employer announced the largest job cuts in recent history, IBM Corp. is becoming more profitable and its Vermont plant remains at the cutting edge.
One analyst said what was done last year appeared to be enough to shave costs for now, but might not be adequate for the long-term.
A year ago today IBM announced it was shedding 988 jobs at its plant in Essex Junction. The cuts came on the heels of an announcement in November 2001 that the company was eliminating 500 jobs at its Vermont plant. The cuts were part of an effort to trim $1 billion to $2 billion in expenses -- mostly from low-profit product lines -- because of the lingering slump in the technology industry.
At the same time, IBM restructured its Microelectronics division by creating a custom engineering department and providing outsourcing services for its customers.
The realignment seems to be working, said Jeff Couture, IBM's Vermont spokesman.

In the next several weeks, a federal judge will ruleon whether two pension plan changes IBM made in the 1990s discriminated against Kathi Cooper and 140,000 other U.S. employees.
Cooper, the 52-year- old lead plaintiff, stands to receive an annual pension of $21,475 under the first of the two disputed pension plans, which were instituted in December 1994 and July 1999.
But she would get slightly more, $21,666, if she were a year younger, and $22,221 if she were five years younger -- even with no change in the number of years she worked for the company, according to her lawyers.
Getting older doesn't help.
