<<ps. the answer: because the press release had the word "internet" in it. Current market thinking dictates that alone is worth a 150-200% increase in market capitalization (see Biker's Dream, etc.)... >> Exactly!!!! <<In short, it sounds really cool to say that you can surf the net from your satellite at high speeds, but will it really replace a pc (or even interface with one) and allow you to: - download and install applications? - view documents requiring plug-ins? - receive email with attachments? - save received email attachments to a floppy or zip drive? - send email with attachments? - send email including attachments from an external floppy or zip drive? - save downloaded application files from the receiver's hard drive to a floppy or zip drive?>> I know the tech Noel...I don't have the users manual...YET!!! Let me know if you run across any detailed diagrams of how it will work. I can't see them making it a headache to get a file you've downloaded to the "box" to your pc. I would also assume they have a 4gig drive or bigger as the minimum on the box, leaving you plenty of room for programs, downloads and plug ins.
