Jim, just keep in mind that sub-$1000 PC margins are also less for the OEMs as well, by at least 5%. And, if people keep buying these low-end models instead of higher-end models then this will impact OEM earnings as well. That's why DELL isn't in this ballgame and that's why IBM got out yesterday. They will concentrate on the high-end PC business. IBM said they were losing money on each low-end retail PC sold, and granted CPQ may be more efficient or get better pricing than IBM, I question how much.
