Good evening AT, thanks for the link to the next generation of processors. Does an ordinary shmoe like me (no real computational intensity) benefit from higher MHz and clock speeds, or should I just spend my next dollars on upgrading to faster pipes, which in my case really means satellite since I spend summers in Vermont where V90 is absolute state of the art (no cable). TIA Tom

General Magic Inc. [NASDAQ:GMGC] along with Microsoft Corp. [NASDAQ:MSFT], has demonstrated this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas advanced voice command and Internet information access functionality for automobiles. The demonstration involved General Magic's Portico virtual assistant service on the Microsoft Windows CE-powered Auto PC platform. According to the companies, it was the first technology collaboration between the two firms. The two aren't strangers, however, with Microsoft making a minority investment of $6 million in General Magic last year. A prototype onboard computer was introduced at the show, which reportedly will make use of the Portico service to let drivers use their natural speaking voice and get such information as directions to addresses, which is retrieved from the Internet and displayed onscreen in the car through Auto PC. The companies previewed two services: Directions, which provides directions to street addresses; and a service which provides information about businesses.
