There was this gentleman walking with two heavy suitcases in the airport terminal. Someone approached and asked him what time it was. Gentleman bends down to park the two heavy suitcases and stares at his watch.But this was no ordinary watch! He touches a tiny button and his administrative assistant's face appears in real-time.He asks, "Mary, what time is it?" Mary answers instantly with a smile. The questioner is in a real quandary.
He asks, "What kind of a watch is it? It's like a TV with two-way real-time communication." The gentleman, now elated, explains that the watch is the latest in technology with Intel's latest 64-bit chip (McKilney) with processor speed of around 1 gigahertz.
The onlooker is now quite impressed and wanted to know if he could buy this watch from the gentleman. They agree on a price and the cash was handed immediately. The gentleman takes his watch out and hands it over and then walks away.
The new owner stares at the two suitcases and shouts, "Sir, you forgot your suitcases."
The gentleman stops, smiles, and replies, "No, they are yours now. They are the modems you need for your new watch.
