Bob,

The ability to run Windows 95/98 and the tens of thousands of apps written for Windows is worth the extra $100 IMHO. Don't you think so?

Do you know how mych a typical Nintendo or a Sony Playstations costs?
I tought they were in $100 to $150 price range. (this is where Stockamn can come in handy. He can ask other kids.)

Also, MXi may offer some functionality that is not the MIPS chip, reducing the effective difference to less than the nominal difference in price

Windows 95/98 etc.. require a PC. The Mxi is a commodity type Internet appliance, where Windows 95/98 is not worth the extra cost.

Thus Mxi is a flawed chip, with a flawed strategy from NSM.

All on this thread who are holding NSM, would do well to sell NSM. It will be in the teens on its way to single digits.
