Greg, As I have earlier, I agree with your vision of future computing with handhelds. But I doubt if the PC is going to become a home server with maintainence issues and all that ... more likely the PC as we know today will become less powerful and will be connected to a neighbourhood powerful server. -BGR.

Greg; A PC by any other name...( you know the rest ). The PC will live on. It is living on. It has not been a Personal Computer for some time now--> ever since it was introduced into the workplace. But it's role is evolving into even more of a General Purpose Device, especially for the home/personal user. It will be the brain center/base station for the home. Allowing the home user to easily configure, upgrade and maintain other home 'appliances'( for lack of a better term ). Certainly there will be( already are ) specialty devices such as hand held PM's, phones on steroids, dedicated playstations for electronic games. BUT, anything and everything that one can do on any of these devices can also be done on/from the good old PC at a lower cost but with less refinement and quality of features. Perhaps this is the same type of thing you are seeing? If not, I'd be interested in a fuller explanation from you. Regards, JT
