dave, if my homework is to do your homework... yup. i didn't do my
homework.

but numbers don't tell the whole story on the surface. let's look at
growth rates...

1999 2000 GROWTH (IMPLOSION) RATE
<$600 10.8% 13.7% 27%
$600-$1000 42.7% 43.4% 1.6%
$1000-$1500 26.5% 26.9% 1.5%
>$1500 20.0% 15.0% (25% IMPLOSION)

now, this TOTALLY supports my assertion that most folks are migrating
toward the cheap boxes - though i'd define cheap boxes as < $800. you
know what? next year's $600 box and scanner and internet service is
this year's $700 box.

how LOW can you GO... seems to be operative.

rmbs has a niche on the high end, for sure. the question is, how big.

time will tell.

ps - since all these cheap box buyers are trading up to much nicer
boxes... why is the high end collapsing vs growing? ;-) as an
aside, high end boxes used to be $2500+. as further proof of a loss
of pricing power, high end is now $1500...
