Hi Jim; Indeed it was a pleasure to meet you and the others at the AGM. You boys from Iowa and North Carolina had me beat by a country mile for distance travelled. My views on bandwidth. I want to 'attend' an AGM, some day, but have it broadcast to me at home better than today's format where one attends in person, where one is obliged to look by the head of the person in front and strain to catch every word spoken in both English and French. That transmission will take bandwidth and making it two way simultaneous with automatic translation will take more bandwidth. So as I see it there is a building need which will increase for quite a while. Think of teaching by 'attending' school and university this same way. Meetings, phone calls - you speak English, the other person speaks some other language and the conversation is seamless and instantaneous, visual/audio/3D, better than in person. Then there is the storage and retrieval of info. What did you say a year ago last Wednesday? Here it is; lets listen and watch this holographic record. And then buy more stocks like LUMM which very shortly will bring all this to reality. VBG Will there ever be enough bandwidth? Not likely. DJ
