HOT HOT .............aeth,vixl,mcom.....Comdex, the computer industry's largest show, is expected to attract 200,000 visitors.

These slimmed-down gadgets, such as Palm Pilots and set-top boxes, allow users to surf the Net without all the hassle of logging on through a PC. "Right now in the Net-appliance space, the only real products springing up are hand-helds, cell phones and set-top boxes," said Michelle Abraham, a senior analyst at In-Stat. But already Abraham has seen early developments that add Net access to refrigerators, for instance.
