re "GTW grew mega in 1996, and mini in 1997"

OK, OK I agree - the PC industry seems (at least for the near term)
to be in trouble.

The main thing that interests me (as a long) is the following:
Andy G, Bill G and M. Dell are probably a lot smarter than
most other CEOs around. Are they going to sit by and let things
shrivel up and die??

Is Win98 going to be a "must-have" upgrade? My feeling is that
it isn't.

So what is going to propel people with Pentium 100+s to upgrade
in the near future?

A higher bandwidth connection to the Internet may not be enough IMHO (I have a T3(?) connection at work and I feel it doesn't force the use of a faster CPU).

IMHO if Java-based web-apps become more prevalent there will be
a compelling need. But with Netscape floundering who is going
to spearhead the Java movement?

Any and all opinions welcome.
