The bottom line is that upgrading the hardware is becoming an option rather than a necessity for a lot of users, George's experience with Micron is a clear example. Mark, At the risk of appearing unimaginative, that was the point the tech at Micron was making. I'm not a techie person, but I do see a longer life span for the actual hardware for the reasons both you and Micron observed. I have real estate MLS (Multiple Listing Service) software which is DOS and graphically based that still runs fine on a 386. Many agents still have a 386 or 486 in their offices. It's a matter of "need versus" speed and how fast is enough? This could be a surprise to Intel. I know this will not impede progress as eventually all hardware will go the way of previous dinosaurs and end up as a fossil fuel. Of course by that time the holograpic wars will have been settled intra-dimensionally and the more pernicious time warp chameleons will have found a uniform color in which fluid quantum genesis shall no longer be a mere dream of quasar infidels. That's also the time I uh, imagine Phil may find a little tact. Neener neener. <g> Onward, George
