Hey *I don't need a local OS. For the past several months I've not spun a local HD once. I connect via Unix (and DOS) to my Unix shell account on a machine 20 miles away. From there I do everything but graphics and I do it FAST. Once we have the bandwidth buildout built, I'll be able to experience the same speedy experience WITH the GUI (although I'm not very inclined that way). I love buzzing through the web in simple text mode. I can shell out of wherever I am and check messages on SI in less than 2 seconds with a 28.8 modem. --- I store EVERYTHING remotely (in different places). --- I'm one of those people who would LOVE to replace their PC with a diskless, noiseless net-centric thin client (really). -JCJ
