Good points all of them. Yes, I think if you have a favorite high-end
table top, hold onto it because there are only a few companies making
them any more. I'm not sure shortwave will prove to be a viable
alternative to the net in China. The governmental net controls are far
from perfect right now. I see a gradual loosening of controls on
society in general and the net in particular as China becomes more
secure in it's position as a major economic and political player.
