Mary,

Re: Sub $1000 PC's

Well stated. While there is a market for these systems, it is a niche which some people are trying to portray as a mania. The infrastructure of the corporate world and the internet are not going to be built around these toys. That's were the real $$$ growth is. None of the people who I know would even consider these PC's....and I recommend a lot of PC's every year. Right now I am recommending P200's with 32M Dram and 4G hard drive as a entry level system for first time buyers who ask for my advice but don't want to spend more than necessary. Of course for experienced users I wouldn't recommend anything less that a PII266. Personally, I am waiting until next summer for a 400+......although as cheap as the PII300's have become they are tempting.

Good luck,

FF
