<<What MD means is that a server centric model of computing for the masses won't win out... i.e. thin clients. His assertion is that increasing the bandwidth of the internet will necessitate more power on the desktop... not less.>> Meathead: Great comments. I agree that as more users experience the benefits of increasing bandwidth, they will want to do MORE with their desktop PC. This is good for the DELLs and the Intels of the world. Boy, I think some of the Fund Managers are waking up and buying a little more DELL today <G>.!! Best Regards, Scott

Thanks. That is what I was hoping was being said. Don't have access to the actual article. Scott

Meathead, this is the (t?)billion dollar question... Can a thin client take the advatange over the higher-powered PC in internet connectivity? Your answer is "no" from what I read. I'd like to be able to believe you are correct, but I have to wonder if both might have a strong market in the future. I understand that the individual's choice of content ("the phone company doesn't tell you who to call") might necessitate the power on the desktop, but for corporate networks and simple internet data processing, perhaps the thin client might be more cost effective? Your thoughts? Thanks. LoD
