Paul,

<Fred - Re: "We have 4 color TV's and 4 computers."

That will keep you busy !>

Which brings up a good point. We hardly watch TV at all anymore. Now, except for sporting events or occasional documentaries, we don't watch hardly any TV (oh... and some CNBC whenever I want to get irritated). Other time that we used to be spend watching TV (including news, sports news, weather forecast, entertainment) we now spend on the web. The internet is changing our lives in so many ways. We do all of our investing on-line, including managing our 401k plans. We do more and more of our shopping on line. We book our airline and other travel on-line. We correspond with friends and relatives and exchange digital photos and videos on-line. In addition, much of our entertainment time is spent researching or browsing whatever we feel like. I guess my point is that the internet is becoming all encompassing and the need/desire to be on the net is just beginning.

As big as E-commerce is and is projected to be in the future, I still don't think that many people grasp the magnitude of what is about to happen. I think eventually, this will be the largest single driving force to getting everyone on the web.

Oh....and of course, Intel will be all over this scene <ggg>.

Re: "We have 4 color TV's and 4 computers."

I've been "watching some TV" from my PC by "clicking through the news" in full-motion video.

Even with fast downstream speeds, there's some improvement needed. It's not satellite quality.
