Actually, I think it was Bill Gate's assistant during one of the demos that said it. From the voice of Microsoft, all Wisdom and Knowledge flows... But how about those big 20 foot tall Henry Quan talking heads on the big screen? I almost lost my breakfast. I was sitting in the front row. It scared the hell out of me. Felt like 1984. Ski

Chromac, Here's and excerpt of what was actually said by Gate's assistant during Gate's speech. -------------- MR. GUGGENHEIMER: ..."So on the PC side, we're all very familiar with information access, so I brought along the other two things. It does the high-definition or the HD0 capability, as well as interactive programming. Now, this particular PC has the hardware in it right now, and is receiving, decoding, and displaying a 480 P or an HD0 level signal, and it's the PC that's now outputting into this TV as well as the normal screen. The hardware for this is something that's actually going to come up in the next year. In fact, ATI has said that we can announce this morning that within the next six months, they plan to try to put on their mainstream graphics chip the ability to receive and decode the HD0 capability so that mainstream PCs within the PC '99 timeframe will have the hardware capable of supporting this level of video so consumers can get that." ----------------- You can find text to the entire Gates Speech and assistant comments at: microsoft.com Use your "Find" command on your browser and search for "ATI".
