Charles -

I liked your idea:

"The way I work it with my son is he gets to pay
the difference between a good pair and the "Status" pair and that
way he can learn the difference and establish the priorties."

My son hasn't reached that age yet, but I am certainly going to try to use this tact with him. I hope it works. Thanks.

Your observation:

" consumers buying computers were instead of taking the 'savings"
because of the reduced Ram costs etc were instead using the savings
to purchase more computer such as a faster CD ROM or more Ram or
a faster modem etc."

This indicates that many knowledgeable computer shoppers are indeed looking for PERFORMANCE above cost savings. This may not be Peer Pressure per se, but it sure indicates that customers have more in mind that the lowest cost box.
