What makes you think that's all the average Joe does with his computer? This is a blindness that always amazes me when I see it. Does every single motherboard now come with a 3D chip to suf the web and do ms office work? Since the beginning of the microcomputer revolution people have SAID they were buyign the computer to word process, or do spreadsheets, but the number one selling pecie fo software, the one comaptability test every clone maker had tio pass, was running MS Flight Simualtor. People say they buy computers to work, but by and large they really buy them to play. And geodes wont run modern games so they aren't selling. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
