I stand corrected re the IE 4.0..;-). However, I think you need to check out the newer systems under $1000. In todays Sunday ads, Best Buy and Office Depot are both offering the Compaq with: 233mhz 32 megs sdram 3.2 gb hd 20x cdrom 56k modem 2mb video ram Circuit City is offering a Packard Bell for the same price and almost the same specs. While I have the best modem available in the x2 line...a 3com Courier V. Everything, my ISP has decided to use 56 flex, so I am stuck at 28.8. However, even at that slow speed, I do not feel that my trading is hampered. I am hopeful that situation will change soon as I read in the paper today that a standard for 56k has been reached. FWIW
