But then it depends upon whether or not you want your computer to be your
own private 24 bit color TV station.

In short, bandwidth is the name of the game. If the world's bandwidth needs
were to incesase by 1000 fold, there's enough fiber optic cable in the ground
to match the demand.

We buy workstations because we want more and we want it now.

It's the workstation which will push computing into the optical bandwidths.
