Hey, just a random, pissed off thought. Wasn't MSFT supposed to release Windows 97 (oops, 98, there's no monopolistic lazy behavior going on there, uh huh) in Summer 1997, then Fall 1997 and now Spring 1998 (well, we really meant Summer 1998)? Wouldn't the greater RAM needs and added functionality from Windows 97 (oops, I mean 98) have created much greater consumer and business demand for INTC processors? And, why don't the RBOCs stop the DSL "trials" for the last umpteenth years and actually spend some serious money? Oh, I forgot, another lazy regulated monopolist at work. I love the "free" market at work. Isn't increased bandwidth the only way to have a chance of getting rid of the MSFT monopoly and their maddening delays and vaporware? If there were enough bandwidth, could we bypass Windows and go direct to get the programs we want? Should we ultimately blame MSFT for this latest debacle? djane (I want my bandwidth and I want it now)
