>>I agree in part. AAPL is on the right track, the Cube and the G4 are turning laptops into SERVER power devices. I beleive that I will move to Apple for that because Jobs is right, they make better stuff. (QUICKER QUALITY, FASTER ELEGANCE) You will always have or want that. But you will also want to throw away your wired or chain cabled telephone and even cell phone or cordless phone and get a wireless PALM device, so that you have CONVERGED COMPUTING AND COMMUNICATION WIRELESSLY.<< CB - Yes, wireless will become more ubiquitous, and more people will get things like wireless Palm devices. I for one would love to have a good PDA that also worked well as a cellphone. But I'm still not going to give up my PowerBook G4, which, by the way, is connected wirelessly to my home network. No palm device is going to give me this kind of computing power (for a while at least) or display. My wife will not give up her G4 tower, either, nor does she need to have it connected wirelessly. What she needs is a 21 inch monitor on which to do her graphics. Furthermore, wireless is not the panacea you seem to think it is. The more wireless networking devices there are, the more interference there is. I had a hard time getting my Airport to work reliably because my 2.4 GHz cordless phones interfered with it. Sometimes it's cheaper and better to set up wireless networks, and sometimes only wires will do. - Allen
