johnny boy, << copper >> Putting aside the technical debates let me give you another perspective. Last week I had to drive to Dallas and back to Colorado on family business. It was hard to NOT notice the antiquated, delapidated (spelling) phone lines along the highways. Here in Colorado we are on US WEST phone system. Us mountain folks continually have line problems that receive only patch work. When confronting USWEST, they have no problem revealing that they have no intention of installing badly weathered lines from the problems with our elements that are much harsher than in Dallas and other areas of moderate temperatures. I take this as clue#1. Fiber optics cable is being aggressively pursued in urban areas. Qwst is contracted to run fiber along railways across the nation. Clues 2 & 3. I'm sure Engibeous and crew are aware and must consider this networking solution. If not, he needs to spend less time on his boat and more on the highways! Larry

Johnny Boy Merry Christmas to you and your family. The thread has taken on a Techno tone----with all kinds of new termonology and some new agendas.What do you think about Charlies Robins? They are beginning to line up on the lawn (chart).He has an uncanty of being right near term (even though he denies it). What do you think about the Acer closing---good or bad or what?Please think out loud and tell me what you think it means.
