[Icom] Do I Dare To Ask?

Hi,
Not only that digital watch. That old LED watch is collector's item now.
Speed of change in electronics is mind boggling. Guys like us even have 
trouble
keeping up.  You just turn your back few days then you're already behind.
I just put in a new video card in my PC box and 3D2000 bench mark  is in the
10,000 range. This was not even dreamable couple years ago.
