gc, No, sir re' bob-a-rino! I would go for that 'blazing' 333Mhz, 256Meg (or more), 21" screen, you name it - I got it - machine! I figure I get to by a machine every 5 years or so, and I get sucked right on into fastest box! I don't know why, I really don't need that kind of speed, but I would like to see the network speed up a bit. I was using that 400K dish, but as the popularity increased, while the download at the instant was 'fast', my time 'slice' came at longer and longer intervals, and so the effective rate dropped from 400K to about 200K. I dropped the service, as the cost for me was $9.95 per month plus $.80/meg (peak), $.60/meg (off peak). I did get the machine in July of '96 - good estimation! Regards, Ken
