Stopman, <..who refuse to see the facts and have their own theories..>
I do not do theories, I do observations.
The most recent one to share with you:
Just back from Best Buy (when shopping for some
cables): two ladies bought computer packages -
PC, monitor, printer. One computer was a HP 6330
model - K6-2-300, etc, etc, the other one was an
IBM Aptiva E3N - again K6-2-300. Near the counter
another guy was rolling two carts with E3Ns.
Yet another lady-student was trying to make
a choice between HP P-II-333 and HP K6-2-300.
She said she does not play super-new 3D games,
mostly word processing and spreadsheets. A
salesperson said there is no significant
differences in performance while the price
tag difference was $400. I am sure this factor
will score well...
Another observation, from Circuit City, just
across the street:
All the front shelves are stuffed with IBM
Aptivas (K6 again) and several models from
NEC and PB, marked as MII-300 (I guess it
is NSM/Cyrix since there were no "Intel inside"
crap on PC cases). Celeron models are sitting
in between, for buyers deception, I guess.
The top of the crop (or crap?:) with genuine
P-II is lonely sitting inside the demo area.
Funny to mention, the two K6 Aptiva models
are shaded by a full-size cardboard-made
bunny-suit man, with the P-II brick in hands.
Forgot to mention: there were no buyers for
P-II machines, zero.
Now do YOUR theories, StuporMan. |
