Will 90 Yen per dollar low enough? When it was 250 Yen a dollar, I would not think of today's 107 Yen. Well, it happened. US economics is better then rest of the world today. Do we need another deep drop on dollars? I'd rather see it stable and reduce one factor.

It cheers us all up, Ron, your waving the flag. However I'm not all that sure that you are right about the next technological revolution - the Internet. Right now, the Japanese have almost a decisive lead in video game consoles which may not seem earth shattering but which, IMHO, will be an integral nucleus for the Internet, and with the DVD capabilities of Sony's PlayStation II and, perhaps more so by Nintendo's Dolphin, no wonder Microsoft and Intel are getting cold feet. The power of these little 'toys' is awesome and may provide the linkage between the PC and the TV not just in games but in movie selection, spreadsheets, word processing - and possibly telecommunications. Although they have the power of a $2,000 PC they will be priced at less than $500.
