Jeff, re "You might start
thinking now about what you can do with your new 50 gigahertz processor with its
1Gbps fibre net connection . This is likely to be the typical machine of 2010!"

I assume you followed Moore's Law with this. Also, didn't Dr. Moore say everything looked fine for the continuation of his law until 2013? I forget what, if anything, he said might run his law into the wall then.

In the nearer term, re net connection speed, have you seen any predictions on ramping of this? For example, when will 1 Mbps or so cable modem or other vast improvement to our 28.8, 56K, get to significant saturation levels? One data point on the curve: my son in San Jose has been on At Home's list for cable modem hookup a good three months now. Slooowww. Of course, faster net connections go a long way in justifying Intel's faster and faster CPU speeds.

Regards,

Tony
