| that would be so awesome!! the BPL technology article is an intresting never one, heard of it. That would almost deplete the idea of wireless because if you could plug into a power outlet that would mean some kind of device could route the whole house with ports lit for internet, making it possible to plug into every room with a ethernet type device. sweet shit. would switch to that if it came around here, just seems like a more reliable technology

| broadband well it has taken long enough but people are actually figuring out that dialup for around 15 a month and a landline phone for 30 to 50 a month = about 65 dollars on average, 90% of people have a cell phone and cable TV so why not can the dialup and home phone seeing how cell phones are better anyway so that stops 65 dollars in spending then you can apply that 65 to cable or dsl and depending on what service you get that will be 35 to 60 a month so the savings are obvious. dialup is a complete waste of time. we are not living in the era of the WOPR computer and wargames and tic tac toe to save the world. | |

| Who cares about Gen X? Of course those numbers will be higher to a bunch of school students.
What are the numbers for the "Nintendo" generation (8bit) that have the money to purchase their own broadband?

| X The way I see it, if you turned 18 in the 20th century, in the '80s or '90s, you're Gen X. If you didn't turn 18 until the new millennium, you're Gen Y (Millennial Generation.) I'd say The Nintendo Generation is the last half of Gen X--the kids who graduated high school in the '90s. I'm part of this group, and certainly can afford broadband.

You can still play tradewars nowadays. I do it quite often in fact... Just get Synchronet BBS (www.synchro.net), and the latest TW2002 (»www.eisonline.com/TradeWars/). Or, if you don't want a full-fledged BBS, and just want Tradewars, get the TradeWars Game Server (»www.eisonline.com/products/)
TradeWars is still alive and well, you just have to look for it a little bit | |

| Re: OT - 7 years? They are at least 18 years, as I see it. Strauss and Howe, generation scholars, authors of "Millennials Rising" and "The Fourth Turning", say the birth years for the Millennial Generation runs from 1982-2001.

| Uses. I'm more interested in knowing what those crazy "Gen-Y" kids use their broadband connections for, in comparison to previous generations.
I'm pretty sure I already know the answer, but I'd still like to see the results...
