Hi Pete, Well said, Keep in mind that cheap transistors resulted in you being able to call your crappy computer something you can upgrade for 1000.00 instead of 3000.00. Remember when box makers were going broke because boxes would become commodities? It is commodities that make it to the masses. I paid 135.00 for my first TI calculator(it didn't even have square roots). Now firms give away better/smaller calculators for free as advertising trinkets. Now that's cheap. I really like your out of the box vision of what would really work - voice recognition and wireless e-mail as I ride my Harley. YYYEEESSSSSS Bob
