Has this much faster CPU rate made us richer, smarter or whatever? Most of us disagee that hedonics has created wealth and commmerce. Hey, since I got my super duper 'puter, it takes me about ten times as long to fix it when it screws up. As compared to my 1990 model. There is at least 10 new ways it screws up too. Just think of the increase in IT personnel and job creation involved. They will all have to work super efficiently just to keep ahead of the problems. I agree with the Fed, these new puters are a big help to the economy.-g- Anyway, I think Bill F. was very impolite referring to the Feds as "Quacks". That implies they doctor things and don't know what they are doing. Finally (seriously this time), I think you are being a little sharp on Zonder, who probably is speaking English as a second language. Not every one lives in the good ol USA and is used to the latest economy jargon words. You are being a tad parochial if you don't mind me saying so. I understand though. It reminds me of when the guards in a SF city bank thought I was trying to rob the place when I tried to change some UK money into dollars. The teller girl was a little confused "don't they have dollars over there" was the explanation why the guards attention was called. Lucky I wasn't shot I guess. I hear that's the normal procedure there -g-
