Wow Jay, what a load of cool stuff. Lexus, Ai Li, multi-mode cyberspace, wife, youth, all mod cons etc, etc and a whole century spread out before you. What more could a man want? Of course an upgrade would be nice. Few or no wires would be good. More functionality and faster would help. Already your system has obsolete features, but you are stuck with them due to your location so as good as is available is all you can do. Bad luck mate! That system should last a year. Can you still remember life in 1966 for comparison? What an amazing change has been wrought. Yet on CNN right now, there are women making cow dung and straw patties for cooking materials for open fires in India. Wait, there's technology upgrade: another woman is collecting cow dung, by hand, mixing it in water, by hand, and emptying it into a biogas digester which delivers methane to her cooking stove. Wow, technology is booming everywhere. I don't see any electronics or phragmented photon light sabres. They look as though they could use some capital, financial systems and education. Some big power stations would be a good start. Does Skype work on your GPRS gadget? Mobiles need MSFT Pocket PC to download. I think GPRS might be a bit too slow to handle Skype well enough. I'm due for an all-around upgrade. I suppose 2005 will do. The upgrade process is a pain - what works is easy. Have fun! Mqurice
