>>"BTW. Welcome back. Haven't seen you here for a while now. Did you miss the last Intel move up?"<< Of course I missed it. Why do you think I'm bitching? <G> If I can get the price back to where it was in Oct. I'll jump in with both feet. One thing that bothers me is I'm not the least bit excited about the P-III. My wife thinks I'm a computer nut. Not long ago that was true, but not anymore. I started out with a 386SX-25, then a 386DX-33, then a 486DX-33, then a 486DX-66, then a Pentium 133 and now I own a Pentium II 233. For the first time since 1992 I have no desire to run out and buy the latest CPU even though I could easily afford it. I wonder how many other people feel as I do? The sad fact is I don't NEED a faster computer for the programs that I use. It would be a complete waste of money. Upgrading the older computers resulted in huge performance gains that were very visible. When I went from a P-133 to a P-II 233 I hardly noticed the difference. Intel can no longer count on us computer freaks to run out and buy the latest CPU just because it's available. When my software needs a P-III, I'll buy it, not until. Jim
