Hi Skeeter, Gotcha.....Me and my 12k shares of ASND sincerely hope that IBM and all the other box makers sell all the cheap k56flex equipped PC's they can make this XMAS so that everybody and their brother who tries to connect to the internet with them in JAN and gets a busy signal will scream bloody murder at their ISP, who will then be FORCED to throw big $$ at ASND to upgrade their network or lose customers. From the link you posted: <<<The Aptiva E16 is a breakthrough in providing consumers with category leading performance. With powerful technologies including an MMX(TM)-Enhanced 166MHz2 processor, hardware-based video graphics acceleration and a dedicated audio processor, the E16 offers features unmatched by the competition at the $999 price point. Similar to systems normally sold at higher price points the E16 also includes technologies, such as 256k L2 cache, a 20X-8.6X CD-ROM3, K56 Flex-protocol modem4, ATI Rage II 3D graphics, and two USB ports. Additionally, the E16 utilizes 16MB of high-performance SDRAM, compared with some PCs using older, slower EDO technology. Unlike other PCs in this price range, IBM has built the E16 as a full-sized mini-tower, offering consumers the expandability available on all Aptiva PCs. Finally, the E16 comes with the quality, reliability and assurances that consumers have come to expect from IBM. It is backed by all of the world-class support and services IBM has to offer.>>> Regards, Lee
