DS, *OT* << Quicken and at least one other app running all the time. Who sez we have enough CPU power? >> I put money into extra RAM and graphics card this time rather than CPU where I went baseline. Running 733 Mhz PIII with 256MB RAM, with a 640 MB disk cache, on its own dedicated logical drive, and the internet cache on another. Partition Magic still an invaluable piece of software. If we were 6 months out I woulda gone high end P4. Your fortunate. Still no (good) cable connectivity or xDSL here, so I remain xDSL. Close but no bannana Like you I run several apps at all times and have a slew of utilities running in the background. Biggest problem is those darned old DOS Heaps (User & GDI resources), and apps that do not give back memory or resources). I'd love to run WIN 2000 and get rid of DOS but I have apps and devices I know would conflict. Reminds me, I have a coupon to send into Dell for ME, but I have most of the components from MSFT (not the new Media Player as to many other alternatives already on). Running the upgraded MusicMatch Jukebox for audio recording, after trying several. Steep learning curve. All the reviewers said it. They were not kidding. It has one pretty but obtuse user interface *EOT* << Century Man ... needs a new computer, but he does >> Think so too. - Eric -

Gilder's NTAP comments Gilder Publishing's Gilder on Storage-Area Networking: Comment Squaw Valley, California, Sept. 15 (Bloomberg) -- George Gilder, chairman of closely held Gilder Publishing and a well- known technology futurist, comments on storage-area networking and Network Appliance Inc. He spoke at the Gilder/Forbes Telecom Conference in Squaw Valley, California. ``It was one thing to move the printer onto the network. The computer became disaggregated in a limited way. It's when you really move storage out onto the network that the computer industry faces a fundamental transformation.'' ``The leading company in this transformation -- one of the most powerful companies to emerge in Silicon Valley -- is Network Appliance.'' (Network Appliance CEO) Dan Warmenhoven has been a leader in moving storage from the box to this new architecture where all storage is dispersed across the Web.'' ``You have this movement in storage on the network. At the same time, we have a contrary movement by increasing the amount of storage available to your PC because it's on the network.'' ``The access to billions of Web pages on the network is really the most powerful development in enhancing the potency of computing devices.'' willkm3@GG=gorillagame.org
