<<"PC's? A few years away? I'm afraid at that time PC's will be history.">> Well, the others are fun and ok while on the road.. but even a 15" screen is a pain in the butt to try and do anything with. PCs will be around in some form for some time. Also count the boxes running machinery and apps in industry. Sales will slow but the box will not die that quickly. The laps are still too slow. The technology to supply workable memory in a pda has not caught up with the frenzy / fad yet. There will be boxes used to control a multitude of building systems even in homes. Many services, public and private, will need the capability they provide for some time yet. Voice recognition has not yet eliminated one keyboard... changes are coming fast,, but comfort and ease of use for those that USE a box will see they have life for some time. PDAs have a long way to go before they REPLACE the majority of boxes. Actually they and laptops still have a long way to go before they do much other than compliment a box.. But it is best to hold a bunch of COMS and MSFT anyway... LOL!
