The 15 mips will be surpassed easily; you will have a second-hand machine, althogh functional. The 17" monitor is harder to call...there appears to be great hope that the nExt generation of monitors will make current monitors obselete, both in portability and quality. I would love to hang my monitor on the wall... Last of all, it is a nExt, so I doubt the average guy will buy it. Very few people need one, which is shown by the small amount of workstations sold compared to 'personal' computers. Good luck trying to sell it to the government or some smucky business... > >-mIKE -- begin 644 dh3:uploads/killchip M```#\P`````````"``````````$````_`````0```^D````_,_Q```#?\)HLH M>0````1![@%"(%!*D&<``'8B:``*(`EK\`R10VAI<&;H#*@`"````!AEWB0\4 M`!```)2H`!@B/``(``"2@B)H`!`@"="I``1*D6<.#(``"```9```,B)18.B3F MJ0`$DZ@`''`(2$`M0``^D((A0``8<@!![@`B
