Well, Bill Gates knows what side of bread is buttered on. The fact that 300mhz processors and 16gig HDD are now available, the bottleneck now seems to be connectivity. I do not agree with you that the k56flex /x2 issue is killing the sector. It is a fact that all the current technologies are coming together and this digital world is fast beginning to materialize. As Bill said this is just the beginning. The great thing for Ascend is their next generation products are beginning to hit the market replacing the existing hardware.

Ascends has the products that will get us the connect speeds we want. The problem is cost, what you can afford to pay. I believe the next big modem craze will be cable modems, that connect 30x dial ups. But the service price will be about $50 a month.

I think we can all live with the current modem speeds for another year. Or you can run out and pay for ISDN now.

microsoft is making sure they have the software to keep up with the growth in scaleability.

I will visiting the Ascend comdex booth this morning and will be getting up close and personal, I will have the opportunity to talk candidly with many inside professionals from everyone involved in the IT sector. So, I will expect to to have lots to comment on. I will also be taking digital pictures of certain events, I will make them available.
