Dave, But the tech bulls will just say there is more pent up demand
now. Actually, I was surprised by the number as it included Labor Day, which is a major shopping holiday with lots of sales.

The number of second box buyers shows a trend I have long expected. Folks who have a box are the most likely customers and the new buyer market has flattened out, making this a replacement market. That isn't all bad. Cars are a replacement market, as are televisions. But they are very low margin. PC boxes are getting there.
