I know. You hit the nail on the head. We need people to spend right now, not save. But fear is a catalyst for saving, unfortunately. I don't think this thing will ease up on us until October. Then maybe we'll have a decent Christmas. I mean, we have the XBox coming out in November. That should provide economic stimulus. :)

(Actually, I'm only partially kidding here. By some accounts, the game box industry is becoming a very large and important part of our economy in the sense that it will provide a lot of ancillary jobs and growth for all the component makers - very similar to the growth that the PC industry created.
