Steve, Re: "I need dsl or cable access before I really need to upgrade. Part of the life of not living in the big city!" I agree that this is a big part of what is gating people from upgrading their PCs. On the other hand, it also presents a big opportunity for those companies that invest heavily in networking infrastructure. It's another reason why CSCO and INTC are part of my portfolio. wbmw

Steve, "I need dsl or cable access before I really need to upgrade." Not really. Almost any computer can handle the 1MBytes/s rate without a hiccup. Even K6-300 is just fine. I see no difference in Internet handling whatsoever when switching routinely between a 1GHz Athlon, a 675 P-III, or K6-300 via a KVM box. I have a cable modem. - Ali
