sun.com isn't going to sell it, twister. An ASP like AOl.com, or AT&T.com will provide them like cable_boxes.com. sun.com just takes a license.com on the application.com re-branding (and of course, servers) -JCJ

"how on earth is suncom going to sell a hard drive less computer when a PC is $250? <g>" Hi Twister, I just bought a "Netpliance" from Austin Texas for an older citizen who wanted to go on the internet but was computer phobic. It's great: flat screen, keyboard and mouse -- that's it. Now they can get e-mail, go on the web, special buttons for weather, entertainment, news etc., (which they find a significant enough learning task), without have to learn about booting up the system, saving files, loading programs, and crashes. It only cost $199 with $21 for internet access. It's a great beginning for an internet device that is free from the PC model which for many is VERY confusing. For many people who want internet access, the PC is simply a swiss army knife when a can-opener is the trick. All the best, Michael
