Buy.com had the Wacom 4X5 tablet for $70.00 US. Check out Pricewatch.com for computer memory and other related computer products! If you live farther than 2 to 2 miles from your local Phone Co. branch office, the best connection speed is about 26400. I put up with that for years! The same is pretty much true with DSL (2 mile limit), but the local cable co. made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I can typically D/L an 11 meg file in less than 2 minutes (your actual mileage may vary). There is no (perhaps minimal) bottlenecking since they use fiber optics. External USB modem, cable TV line plugs right into it. Runs about $49 / month. Not bad considering they are now my ISP and I can lose my dedicated phone line. Total cost was only about $5.00 more / month. DOH! Definitely worth it! The 40 gig Maxtor was a deal from Best Buy - $279 with a $30 rebate! Regards, - Art -
