Ed,
Your point is well taken, and I meant no disrespect to the masses. Although when I see the most openly corrupt President this nation has ever seen or may ever see and he's still on the job, one must wonder. The point I was trying to make is simply that I believe there is a very large # of people who have no internet access at all. I don't believe they will go from nothing to full blown broadband. A $2-300 PC with limited operational complexity, limited functionality, marketed under the AOL brand makes for interesting times ahead.
