Tim,

>>If it wasn't for Microsoft and the economic model of the Microsofts, Intel's and Cisco's of the world, you would still be looking at a green CRT wondering how to get an extra 32K of memory out of you computer. The computer of course would of been manufactured entirely by some Asian competitor.

Ever hear of the auto,telecommunications,oil,aerospace,consumer electronics industries? The IBM PC has always been last year's technology, even the Apple II had color before the PC. It is great that the PC adds another market for semiconductors but it is by far not THE market. Fierce competition drove the hardware prices down; software rode the wave.

Cheers,

Norm
