Tony: When he says "equipment prices have fallen 50-70%", I am pretty certain he means equipment companies' stock prices not the prices of the pieces of equipment. (This agrees with what he says in the sentence before and the following text as well.) On Mr. INTC I read that H1'99 they will be producting StrongArm chips for STBs - do you know if these are ASICs or merely the microprocessors? I think it is the latter but I am not sure. And BTW a $399 PC: news.com (Let's see Windows 98 presumably at $60 - that leaves the other hardware at $339 - pretty much pointless assembling a PC by buying the parts off the shelf - just fiddling around - processor - $50, hard drive - $100?, memory - $30, modem - $40, CD-ROM - $40, case - $50, floppy - $20, video card - $60, cables etc - $15, motherboard - $100 - HOW! - amazing stuff!)
