Tito and Brian, [edited] Tito, good post! In the linked post you had said... One who spends $3,000 on computers every two years could now get a $500 computer and then spend the extra $2,500 on different Electronic Gadgets that have Chips Inside. I think they will find a way to spend the savings. But PCs are becoming disposable. Brian, so Norton is bundling antivirus software with Intel motherboards. Such software IS essential. I've had MS Word docs sent to me on two occasions recently, and both times Norton found a virus and killed it. But the Norton Disk Doctor and Crash Guard [which run all the time] do little for me besides slow the system down. Gottfried
