Stockman, Thats why I pegged it as surplus from the NC market. I suspect those NCs are not selling at all well. I have not heard of many companis buying them. The niche they have is with no floppy and no hard drive and thin clients, as most bog cos do not want to give local access and storage to secretaries and other data handlers. Engineers OK, but they ant systems with a lot more than that minimalist machine, and they also want 100baseT not the slow one provided. In fact the thin clients want 100baseT or other like. A niche as a node on a cable modem setup will be OK, as it will not need a modem. As you say a gradually developing market. Bill
