Consider me chastised, cm. I don't know what came over me. It must be low biorythms or perhaps my kharma is unworthy. But either way, seek will show me the way. SHG

A Little Bit More About CPQ Presario Keyboard... From today's (a-hem) Houston Chronicle, this bit about Compaa Presario's "portal on the keyboard" idea... "...Each machine comes with a keyboard with four buttons that surround the word "Internet." Compaq touts the buttons as being easy to use, and they are pre-programmed to go to the various sitess that Compaq has made deals with. Changing what the buttons do is relatively, simple allowing users to have their own preferred sites..." Note that the buttons themselves aren't branded... like a Yahoo! button or AOL button... after all that would LOCK IN A DEAL... and there are no locked-in deals in the great Middle Eastern bazaar that is the Web... Kudos to CPQ for finding another source of revenue... selling board estate... pretty darned ingenious... considering this is the company that has been horribly outflanked by DELL on all counts... Best Regards, SEEKers, c m
