<Mr. Engel - if you don't think set-tops are here, then you're on another planet.> Personally, I think the video game console will be the next set-top box. The next-generation models will have DVD built-in (well, at least Playstation II and the next Nintendo). Plus they'll include support for 56K modems, so they could include some rudimentary e-mail and/or web-surfing capabilities. Then perhaps later models can include cable TV, cable modem support, and maybe even writeable DVD's to finally replace VHS VCR's. My vision is a little far-fetched, but hey, it could happen. By the way, Mr. Scholes, if you think set-tops are going to replace PC's, then ask yourself why game consoles like Playstation and Nintendo 64 hasn't killed off the PC gaming market segment.
