Steve read this as limiting the amount of graphic content you could download onto the PPVII. Wouldn't that limit advertising, too? Instead of an information superhighway, sort of an information back alley? Absolutely......your example is a perfect one and the same as I envision the future of the different connection choices we as well as any where in the world will have available. I have a hard time comparing the cell phone with the Internet but I have no problem drawing a parallel with a deticated digital subscriber line via a remote handheld wireless computer that is priced between $200 and $700 depending on what you want to do as an end user. The PC will still be a part of all of this but there are very defined market sectors that this new technology will envelope. AOL is the only ISP addressing the entire market or is at least headed in that direction. The term "unified messaging" means a whole lot more then just beeping someone. I will be happy to open up this new can of wormy delights as I have the time if anyone wants to understand what is about to happen to the PC, Fax, Cell phone, Digital wireless device, voice mail box, text to speech, speech to text technology that is on our door step now. This will and is being integrated into ONE system and will be deployed by AOL as an ISP first and the broadest as far as bandwidth and accessibility. Vendit
