"Break the Bandwidth Barrier" offered the best explanation I have seen yet of the real-world prospects for ultrahigh-speed communications. I especially liked the perspective you gave in the introduction, showing what broa
d bandwidth will mean by comparing it to improvements to CPU speed, RAM, and so on. Thanks for the good work.

I enjoyed the opening comment in "Break the Bandwidth Barrier," asking readers to imagine a 15,000-MHz processor, 1600 MB of RAM, etc., for $20, and the new types of applications that capability would spawn. I personally think that the next new word processor releases will have enough fatware to bring that system to its knees, like they have done to 486s with 8 MB!
