Moore's Law says that computer capabilities double every 18 months. So, if Piper is "ready" by January, 2002, store-bought PC's will have a processor clock speed of more than 2 GHz, come with 128 MB RAM minimum, and have at least 30 GB hard drives. Will they run Piper fast enough for you, Brad? Jeff -- J.W.
