Used PC vs. Net Box :
=====================

I personally have 2 PCs -- 386sx and 486dx50. I will migrate to
Window NT run on high-end P6 with AGP interface at the time it
is available at the same price I paid for my little obselete PCs.
I don't need any Net Box. I think my $500 486 can beat NC.

For someone who never own a PC or find himself/herself dumb while
dealing with PC, Net Box might catch their mind. No need to upgrade
softwares (H/W maybe), no configuration puzzle, no brainer net surfing, ... how cool!

I think there're many kind of people there. Some of them like DIY
while others just pay so called experts to do it. Someone can't
afford a car will comfort themselve --- biking can do the same job.
My opinion is --- NC will be there, PC will get stronger --- semi BOOM!

If Net Box becomes so popular, I won't mind configure my own powerful
PC as a net server. I can't own slaves, but my computing gig can be
the master.
