Paul, re: "At 266 MHz, it is probably a little faster than a pencil." I dare you to vibrate a pencil 266 million times in one second. If you can do it, you would be the world's first publicly demonstrated PCOAC. -- or -- at least -- the world's fastest vibrating pencil. <snip> You know what I meant <snip> <snip> taking things out of context <snip> <snip> is not a proper way to post public information <snip> Craig

The GEODE is now OFFICIALLY NOT a PCOAC - it is an information appliance - sort of like a book or a manual - or a pencil. At 266 MHz, it is probably a little faster than a pencil. You have it all wrong. Bandwidth will solve all the shortcomings of 266MHz. Wasting bandwidth will replace speed in the future. You will see . . . perhaps that is why the price is up so much since you decided to short NSM? Trust me, these appliances are like no pencils you have ever seen. I guess we will just have to wait for the actual unveiling. Now, are you going to be a trout? :-)
