Well, Paul, I put a new system on my Christmas list. Unfortunately, there's a few small people with Priority status ahead of me on that list, so it may have to wait 'til after...and maybe prices will be lower in Jan.! What I really wish I could do is just log on to a site from my home that provided extensive instant heavy-duty processing power on an "as needed" basis. Sort of pay as you go...a "temporary help agency" for computing power...with a giant flat panel screen on the wall and voice recognition capabilities that instantly responded respectfully to my every command -- "Okay, change the light source to the NorthEast!" yes, mistress... "Add video frames 200 through 600 to fade in slowly in the upper left hand corner!" yes, mistress... "Boost the sound!" "Increase the resolution"! Oh well, it is the holiday season, one can dream...
