IBD has an article today in the Computers and Tech section called "PC's Look To Gain Ground By Saving Dest space." The idea is that many people have complained that PC take up too much of their desk top space and they want this space back. Hitachi and AKia are making "transportable" computers that are all in one pc's including a built in monitor(flat panel monitor to boot). Here's and interesting quote from Paul Gottsegen, director of North Am. enhancement and monitors at CPQ, "When we wask customers about their biggest frustrations with computing, one of the top two or three answers always is that they want their desk space back." Here's the point. An all in one commputer that saves desk space can't be made using a PII chip cuz the thing is a space hog and from what I recall reading the new generation pentiums II's will be even bigger. IDTI fits nicely if this "Saving space" revolution due to the small size of the c6. If this movement takes off in the work place, guess who should be sitting pretty to supply cpu's to accomodate the CPQ's of the world with a fast, affordable, and "SMALL" cpu to make the all in one business machine a reality. Intel won't be able to do it now that they have retired the classic pentium chip. And it remains to be seen if AMD or cyrix will be able to make chips small enough to fit this space saving design.
