AAHH, the stuff dreams are made of. You do set the imagination juices flowing. Did you learn that while you were 'working' at Franklin? May it all happen while we are yet young enough to enjoy it and enjoy gloating over it. C

This is more like what the future will be like, IMO: You turn on your computer, not by pushing a button, but by speaking to it (you won't even have a keypad, except to interact with old programs). The technology will be provided by LHSPF and the software will be integrated by MSFT. Instead of looking at a CRT as your computer screen, technology provided by MVIS will shoot a beam of light into the retina of your eye enabling much better graphics than otherwise possible. Telephone calls will be regularly placed over the internet and no punching in of numbers will ever be needed thanks to MSFT integrating speech and phone technology in its operating systems and INTC integrating them into it chips. Both MSFT and INTC will have made internet telephone systems an integral part of their systems and all the little fly-by-night companies will be pushing new ideas to the investing public by then. The telephone calls, etc., will be carried by large information pipelines, that will act similar to oil and gas pipelines do today, except they will only be carrying data. Companies like WCOM/MCI, AT&T, QWST, and Sprint will become the "pipelines" for carrying the data. Ultimately the telephone products that get used will be determined by the likes of MSFT, AMER, ORCL, INTC, DELL, etc., who provide an essential end-user part of the computer appliance network. Of course, in reality, there won't be such a thing as a telephone; there will only be that do-all, wonderful computer appliance. VALUESPEC
