You know....we all sit here and cry and sigh....but think about it...my first computer system, purchased about 12 years ago was about $3500 dollars (in 1990 cash) and was a 66Mz Gateway with 16Mb Ram and just over 500Mb harddrive. The speakers were a joke and forget about 3D acceleration, etc. Yet I once figured out that that unit had something like 146 times the computing power of the original Univac which cost oogooblies in goverment bucks and took up something the size of my house. My second computer, also costing about $3500 bucks is my current 400Mz with 10Gb hard and (with inexpensive upgrade) 256 Mb of Ram..... I can buy seven times the processor speed, 12 times the hard drive and twice the ram and spend less ($2600 in 2002 bucks) now. God bless America! And you know....the whole world could have this if they just played nice........ Scarab<-small tear in his eye......buy American!
