>>No, the sunray can't do that and manipulation of digital content is IMHO going to be the single biggest thing that helps keep a general-purpose PC alive. Between MP3's and CD recorders and cheap 2-megapixel digital cameras and cheap DV video recorders and cheap 20-GB disks and surround-audio and quasi-free hi-res scanners and cheap photo-quality printers and desktop RAIDs and billion-triangle 3D accelerators and MPEG decoders and (soon) DVD burners plus fast processors that let software make it all easy, any random bag lady can go start a content production studio for $5000. And it's getting more like that every day. Even when there's enough bandwidth and ISP storage to support that kind of activity over a portal link, which is a long way off, you still need too many local doohickies for that kind of job. It rules out a SunRay.<<< not to mention that we like to keep porn on the LOCAL hd. <g>
