Harry OTOTOT Re "$2,199 for a 233 Pentium II is awfully high. If you are not hung up on "name brands" you can get a 266 PII including a 17" monitor, 32meg ram, 4gig HD, 56k modem CD ROM, sound, software, etc for the same price. " Yes I know this. OTOH the Vaio system already has the convergence of TV and computer that is coming, albeit in todays' technology. In one small "cool" looking box a child can have a TV, computer, stereo system, game system, internet acces, video-conferencing and video-editing system. Heck if I wasn't so bummed out by INTCs price drop I'd love to get one for myself too. It would later make a great kitchen entertainment/recipe system when she outgrew it. Yes I know you can buy pieces and put together a system for less (if you can ever figure out how to get the IRQs etc right) - but trust Sony to always come up with the best and most useful combo of features (BetaMax excluded). I personally think the Mavica disk-equipped digital camera is also at the top of a lot of people's wishlists. I think the digital camera is a huge market just waiting to explode once the 2k by 2k resolution is reached - Intc is going to be a player in this (I wonder if they should try for a product instead of just the compnents - don't know the pros and cons Best Regards JB
