Disney executive says broadband Internet will enhance entertainment

In just a few years, more if not most Americans will have high-speed Internet connections in their homes, and that will have a huge impact on the kinds of entertainment programming that big media companies will be able to sell them, a Walt Disney Co. executive said Tuesday.

Thomas Staggs, Disney's senior executive vice president and chief financial officer, said content is still king, and the company is exploring new ways to deliver it -- such as video on demand, enhanced movies on DVDs, and taking advantage of the convergence of TV and the Internet.

Hello folks, since the lights are still on I figure there are some of you still around.

What I have is a question and a comment.

The comment is that 3Com bailed out of the cable modem market...any comment on that Moony?

The question is in regard to Dual processor/Dual Monitor Workstation PCs as apposed to the basic PC. what are the disadvantages? Do they require special software? Will my older software programs run? I'm up to date on costs, but not the rest. My CAD software is pre-historic and is from the late 80s, so I want to move up to the current technology. Also my video programing with Adobe Premier is way to much for my current system it constantly is crashing and I am loosing work and time....very non productive.

Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
