Chic, <I disagree 100%. Nothing is even close to fast enough yet. We have at least 5 years of growth in the speed game, but by 5 years time there will be new apps to take advantage of a 5-10 Gzh processor. Bandwith: I have a cable modem, it's slow!!! I won't be happy until I have fiber to the backbone. CPU: Try using something like "via voice" with a 500 Mhz processor. It pisses me off my NT system (with 256 MB of RAM I might add) still takes over 1 minute to boot up. Netscape takes 5 seconds to load. Lotus notes takes 10 seconds to load. I won't be happy until I can do all of these simple tasks in less than 1 second.> Couple of things: - I am not saying we are at the end of MHz ramp. Far from it. All I am saying is that most users don't run applications that useup the MHz in today's processors. - You, my firend, by no stretch of imagination, are a typical user. I say you fall into a niche that is no bigger than 5% of the market today. You are the "power user" that Mossberg says should go for the biggest, baddest system you can get. Cheers, Chuck
