BF - The "Concept PC 2000" is the device to which that poster refers. It is not intended to be the only type of PC any user can buy. It's intended as an example of a simplified PC, like the Imac is a simplified Macintosh. Here's a link to a story about the machine in question: zdnet.com and a picture of the thing: zdnet.com I think the poster is confused by the fact that Microsoft and Intel have produced specifications in each of the past few years for the PC98, the PC99, etc. These are basically suggestions to PC makers for what features a computer must have to be considered "up to date" and to support the latest software and peripherals. Here's a link to a story about PC99: zdnet.com This story was published in November, and it says that the PC99 spec was at the 0.9 revision at that time, which means it wasn't yet finalized. The final PC99 spec is not due on Intel and Microsoft's web sites until July 20, 1999. The PC2000 spec will be released late this year. That Concept PC 2000 is just that, a concept. Oh, and by the way, if you could actually buy a Concept PC 2000, you would be able to use your USB Zip and FireWire Jaz with it. - Allen
