I find it interesting after the 1980's and the era of "personal computers" once again the computing industry is back to the timesharing model of large data centers. ASPs?

Not so much timesharing of central processing, but bandwidth sharing of geography.

We are very definately in the age of "more than one cpu" per user. --- jerry@fc.net
