.. but if there is any money to be made with the idea I think Msft will be there first. I just love it how you guys insult the thin client concept right up to the very day Microsoft copies it. Then, it's a groovy idea which gives M$ the shot at "being there first". In twister's unique twist on this, MSN Web Companion is "sunray.com for the masses", which to the untrained eye appears to decode into "the Microsoft copy automatically succeeds". Unfortunately, this has been true in the past. As the Economist said in an article somebody posted here recently, Microsoft has been successful in being "the world's fastest follower", or something of that nature. However, their Windows CE device has no special advantage here, even if it does play games. MSN is just a second-tier ISP. Well, it keeps things interesting anyway. Regards, --QS
