Ali, I believe you have inadvertantly made a case against exactly what your saying here.

<<<And the the dancing animated paper clip in Office97 does not add any performance.>>>

Your right here Ali, the dancing paper clip in Office 97 does not add any performance. God don't I know it! When I've tried to ask it questions it was even more clueless than myself! <gg>

But what if it was voice activated with some sort of Logic software embedded to understand what you are trying to ask? Consumers and the industry need it. The limiting factor is? You guessed it...
inexpensive fast processors.

You see that's the key, the more people use computers, the more they want the computers to do, and the more they want it easier to understand. Hence faster and faster chips. There's a reason software development always lags behind Intel's processors. Until they have the speed in the processor, they dare not write the enormous codes required for their next generation program.

It's no coincedence that a 486 will barely run today's children's educational programs. As soon as software developers knew they had the speed to work with, the complexity of the program grew, until more and more of the functions the developer wanted to originally put in the software were added.

Do you really see this scenerio changing in the future??
I am positive it will not.

As more and more fast inexpensive processors are made available. Software developers will find more and more innovative way's to use them.

It's as true today as it's been for 25 years.
