I disagree. More bandwidth will mean you can have a less capable machine locally and still accomplish the same task using remote services professionally maintained. You won't need as rich a PC on your desk.

Kemble, Hi! Michael's comments, where he is the keynote speaker at the Digital Opportunity Forum in Tokyo! :)Leigh quote.bloomberg.com CEO Michael Dell on Internet Business in Japan: Comment By Minoru Matsutani Tokyo, March 27 (Bloomberg) -- Dell Computer Corp. Chief Executive Officer Michael Dell comments on expectations for Internet business opportunities in Japan. Dell made the comments as keynote speaker at the Digital Opportunity Forum in Tokyo. Dell Computer is the biggest direct seller of personal computers in the U.S. On growth in Internet businesses in Japan: ``I believe that Japan is ideally positioned for Internet ventures and starters, partially because of the large population of intellectuals and wealthier (people), also because of the previously slow rate of change around information technology.' On Japanese business customs: ``Certainly in Japan, we have a market that requires a close relationship with the customer. Japanese business is more closed than other business models.' ``Fortunately, the list of our customers is heavily (weighted in) venture companies and I think these companies are sort of resisting the traditional Japanese way.' On PCs and other small devices such as cellular phones: ``Bicycles and cars haven't replaced each other, and I think small handheld devices are like bicycles, PCs are like cars.'
