Fred, I was listening to CNET radio earlier this week and they reported that digital cameras are currently the most searched for product on the net.

AD is busy trying to short Moore's Law at the moment, Fred, so let me answer. Don't be distracted by Xmas ads. Eliminate them entirely by reading all your papers online. Sirius is probably an excellent short. Small pioneers take arrows in their backs 99% of the time. Digital TVs will be much much hotter next Xmas. 3G phone sales will continue to be constrained by silly price gouging attempts by the networks who have not yet figured out that there is an extremely high price elasticity of demand and they can make more money by lowering prices. XP is ramping, but not a big driver for PC sales. PC sales are coming off the bottom, but the arena will be elsewhere.

digital cameras have crossed the critical mass and will become standard

I thought they already were standard, except for die hards who also have kept their vacuum tube stereo sets and swear that the sound is so much better.

I'm on my second digital camera in 2 years and it's already obsolete. But I have a baby girl who turns one year old tomorrow, so what do I know. <g>
