[but how about the IDC prediction of 1 out of 2 servers being intel based?? I am not a tech person so I don't know how to take this.]

Hello, Dennis, I am not a tech person either so taht's why I won't buy Intel stock. As QwikSand pointed out companies are giving away PCs to people who will sign contracts for Internet services.

[Those free PC don't need high-powered Intel chips.]

People who need more than basic Internet services but who do not like like MSFT are turning to LINUX, a form of UNIX, because LINUX is cheap. My husband runs Star Office LINUX at work. We will run LINUX/UNIX on new home PC but what kind of PC that will be I don't know.

Should our new computer run true 64 bit with Alpha chip, then I guess we would run a Sun chip.

Is there a future for a Dell or CPQ PC with Windows whatever? I don't know.

I wish I knew....

Best wishes,

Mephisto

Dennis, I thought you lived in Canada. Well, yesterday was warm and so is today but it has been a cold and wet spring in the Pacific Northwest.
