>>Did I say I was going to buy COMS because of cable?<< I don't know. btw...same case applies for xDSL. >> I have 33.6k and no reason to get faster,..<< Then you must not really be into the internet. Going from even just 33.6K to 56K is a noticeable difference.... >> the bottleneck is more often the lousy server service.<< The majority of ISPs have just about made the switch to 56K service. Shouldn't be a problem there. If service is slow because the web site has low capacity (not enough servers, etc..), then it will be slow no matter what kind of connection you have. >>The Palm Pilot isn't even a drop in the bucket either despite its publicity generation<< That may have been true at one point, but you'd be surprised at how's that is changing. I didn't buy COMS for the Palm Pilot, but it's going to be a hell of an extra I hadn't counted on. >>and it better be followed up by more nifty gadgets. They are now speaking of 0.20 being a good Q and 3com turning around,<< that's the analyst/company game they play for these turnaround storys. Lowball it to death, make sure the company can meet low numbers, then slowly jack up the price and get 100% return in a year. >>That's not going to happen anytime soon but it may dip to $17<< The would be a 'weak market' problem, not a company problem.
