Well, when you consider such machines tend to run a single-tasking email 
client or web browser with text big enough to read across the room, one 
wonders if they aren't really "toy" computers? Some fantasy-land where 
the entire world uses simple little NCOS gadgets (and it is possible to 
extract HD quality imagery from blurry standard def video camera footage 
by "zooming in").


Best wishes,

Rick.
