Actually the oversees market has some advantages in this area. I have a few cousins in both Italy and Spain that have purchased equipment and set up Internet access. One of my cousins came here not too recently and wanted to upgrade a hard disk, buy some memory, etc. Firstly, I was suprised by his knoweledge but I guess that's a biased, obnoxious, ugly american sort of attitude and I certainly should know better. Secondly, after taking the tour of the CompUSA's and such in NY, he found that comparable equipment was cheaper overseas! I'm not sure if this was due to brand differences but I was suprised in any case. Are there any other international readers that could provide insight? Finally, he knew of and had a Voodoo1 card. Everything I've seen points to explosive growth in Europe. Joe C.
