...they still run, don't they? -----Original Message----- From: rob@dekko.com [mailto:rob@dekko.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 12:35 PM To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: Re: NICs - bottleneck (was Re: Dropping the AS/400 as a Web servi ng platform) Great point. A 286 cost significantly more than today's PC's. Therefore it must have been a better quality.

Pick out two nics, price them, then tell me what makes one more expensive than the other. What makes one "bargain basement" and the other "high quality"? Is this mostly perceived because of the price? Is it tariffs/shipping/manufacturing costs/etc? Or is it actual quality. Do the terms "high quality" and "expensive" automatically go together? Sure, to a point (and to a certain point of view). But we're way past that point. Memory is less expensive now, by over 200% from a few months ago? Is it any less high quality?
