Stak - Re: "The slower PC like appliances will come hard and heavy very soon Paul."

Sure, Stak.

You are continually grabbing on to one fad after another.

This is business.

Corporations have to make profits to stay in business.

Talking Toasters are not high in demand.

> The slower PC like appliances will come hard and heavy very soon Paul. But you're right they won't bill them as "slower" but rather "easier to use" and cheaper.

I don't know what your logic is, but historically, "easier to use" devices were usually very complex inside. Take the Mac for example: we would probably agree that the Mac is/was easier to use, than say, Win 3.1. But the Mac actually had much more speed and internal complexity than the WINTEL 486.

If someone builds a "slower" PC, now matter how they bill it, I ain't buying the device, nor the stock!
