I enjoyed that yarn you spun about the W3 standards, since there are no W3 standards that I know about. Ha ha, almost fooled me, but not quite. Good way to make your point, though. However, if you had instead mentioned the W3 protocols from Intel, you would have been much more correct. We get updates from Intel all the time and they recently upgraded the Pentium 4 chips to increase speed and efficiency in laptop operations by almost double what they are with the standard Pentium 4. They finally sent the new chips to us and I recently installed one in my laptop and have seen an incredible decrease in download time. It has been cut in half! Talk about a godsend. I love my laptop more than my girlfriend! (Don't tell her!) I can literally fly around the Internet now, warp speed. It hasn't been released to the general public yet (Intel will most likely announce it in a press release due in mid February, 2007) but my bosses never said I couldn't mention it to others, so here it is, Pentium 4 Next Gen. It says W3.0 on the chip. We've been pretty busy learning the new tech stuff about it so we can be of help to our cutomers. It'll cost ya to upgrade your equipment but I assure you, it will be worth every penny. Just thought I'd pass that on since you mentioned W3. Regards, Allen P.S. Right back at ya. I'm not a geek, I'm a newbie! Love yer blog,Dan! Hi Dan,

I’m a computer tech for Best Buy, a large electronics retailer here in the states.

I enjoyed that yarn you spun about the W3 standards, since there are no W3 standards that I know about. Ha ha, almost fooled me, but not quite.

Good way to make your point, though.

However, if you had instead mentioned the W3 protocols from Intel, you would have been much more correct. We get updates from Intel all the time and they recently upgraded the Pentium 4 chips to increase speed and efficiency in laptop operations by almost double what they are with the standard Pentium 4.

In my first draft I made up a story about a guy from France "Finishing" the internet, all he got to see were some developer credits and a picture of Bill Gates in a bikini but I decided that was too far fetched. It would be interesting to see just how far you can push the boundries once you have achieved "expert" status. lol, I wondered how many people would fall for the microsoft thing.

Sometimes it does not matter if you are an expert in a particular field, all that counts is that others see you as an expert. For a split second I did beleive you about Microsoft, I should have known better... But you're the expert :-) Some nice comments there Dan.
