Paul, I am posting this on a 200mhz Pentium MMX. As I post this, I am also monitoring other SI groups. I am listening to a radio program with real audio, I just sold some Dec Intel $90 calls, and am checking out some other plays on the CBOE. My spreadsheet is open and my mail checker is continuiously checking for new mail. I have a window open with the latest Intel news from yahoo and I am also monitoring my cpu useage. Last night I was doing the same thing and also had an xwindows connection open to where I work so I could nurse some simulations I had running. I am probably not the average user, but I am not ahead by much. Others will be doing what I am doing once they realize they can do it too, but they won't be doing it with toy systems. In a year or 2 what I am doing now will seem tame. Raise your expectations, open your mind and think what you can do. There's a whole new world of possibilities out there. Don't settle for "just barely good enough to get by". EP

Paul, >>>I'm posting to you on a Cyrix Media GX 180 This particular machine is now in an office in NYC and is being used for Word Processing and Internet access. It is connected to an old "surplus" CTX Multiscan monitor and a Panasonic KXP4420 Laser. It holds the 800x600 flicker free. Total cost $390 plus a bunch of spare peripherals. After all why junk everything from your old 486's. Works perfectly well. Customer is perfectly satisfied.<<< How much are you charging your customer for this system? How much time did you spend putting this system together from start to finish? How did you connect to the Internet without a modem? Is the word processing software licensed? Mary
