Not sure I'm following your link between buying packaged s/w and your prior comments....

The biggest of the big are in packages. Try downloading Quark or a full Adobe product....yikes!

Well it seemed to me that my own need for processor speed was driven in part by my buying big bloated software. Which we've already said was driven by available processor speed. Moving from Win 3.1 to 95 and every single time I upgraded Photoshop, Pagemaker or Office I was motivated to get a faster computer with more memory and a much bigger hard drive. I haven't had the need to upgrade any of those apps lately because the added bells and whistles mean very little to me in a situation where more and more what I do on the computer is online. NT 4 runs Photoshop 5 on a PII 300 just as well (if not better) than my PIII 600 in Win 98.

I certainly agree that some of the online apps are clunky with lousy interfaces like SI. Imagine SI with the elegance that you had in a simple newsreader, but with HTML capabilities. It's not hard to imagine because there are some online communities already using better interfaces.

I'd settle for spell check with corrections just so I wouldn't find myself cutting and pasting between my mail app and SI just to spell check a long post.
