AJ, Re Data Storage on Portable devices--Have you listened to a Realaudio conference call over an analog (28.8 or 56 K) modem? When I listen, there are regular interruptions due to "internet congestion". It would be better for me to download in the background, and then listen without interruption. For mobile, it would be convenient sometimes to do things away from the desktop. The popularity of that is demonstrated by the success of laptops and PDA's. And people want to do everything away from the desk that they can do at their desks. If I could get wireless data capability at something like the same speed and cost of my wireline connection, I would quickly switch--if only to allow myself to work in different rooms within the house. Best, JS
