Time Traveler uses one's computer for internet browsing, e-mail, presentation, powerful spread sheets, word processing, photo scanning, photo editing and enhancement with special effects, high fidelity music, circuit simulations, hacking Windows 95/NT and various `things', playing cool games, etc. As you can see, Time Traveler does utilize every last drop of computing power, and that does include the FPU portion. Thank you very much for regarding Time Traveler as an intelligent person. Nowadays, getting a compliment from an AMD investor counts as `scored'. Seriously, what does this $700 have? Time Traveler is somewhat certain this computer can do what one needs. However, time is very important parameter in the life of Time Traveler. Talking about innovation, there is not much to brag about behind those cheap computers. You need to look into affordable P-II (perhaps K6-2 upon introduction as well), unpopular Power PC, or even useless Alpha. Anyway, Time Traveler is looking forward to talk about these innovations found inside a $700 PC with Maxwell. And also remember, it has not been proven any box-maker making these cheap computers is profitable yet. This is the place where money is made. Whatever happened to those Network PCs Jerry was bragging about? Time Traveler
