          Joe, 
          
          The PC market has always forced prices down so that a bare 
          system is available for under $1000.
          
          Those in the industry pushing a "net PC" are coming from the 
          angle of reducing network resources by replacing the PC hard 
          drive with the internet-thus reducing LAN overhead and 
          offering local security. The term NET PC has been loosely 
          applied to thin client technology and other alternatives 
          causing confusion. Now that IBM is leaving this arena it 
          will be interesting to see if Oracle and others who think 
          this technology will replace the PC and reduce the influence 
          of Bill Gates, will still be able to educate the public on 
          this concept, and if the public will buy into it.
