Kash, RE:I guess I just wish they would concentrate on faster and cheaper Gx's etc targetted to super low cost PC's, laptops, notebooks etc. Actually, they are doing exactly what they should with the GX - focusing on low-power and embedded applications. The NEC and Casio mini-notebooks, the Boundless and Wyse thin-clients, and hopefully a Webpad in the future are good examples of where the GX belongs. At $399, the total silicon component of a PCs cost is about the same as the hard drive or Windows98. Getting rid of the hard drive and Win98 is critical to the proliferation of $200 to $300 devices. That's what their goal is with the GX and PCOAC. Bob
