It looks like wireless will be the way of the future on a lower level than I originally anticipated.
I hate to think that I am on par with that fellow from IBM with his statement about no more than four or five computers being needed...and that no one one would want a personal computer.
But to become some prevalent as to supplant wired connections to residential customers - wow! Glad I have a grasp of the technology involved, because this is what the future is made of - RF!
Now, will Google be able to "take on" M$ and start into the software business? Perhaps a Google version of Linux - with monitored searches (for the users better searching, of course!) and directed advertising... (maybe I really DO want a new ______ !) I do like Google's Google Earth...
Thanks Frank - for keeping us up with the changes.
