Joey,

You didn't read any of the dozen articles on the IBM restructuring very carefully did you? IBM's consumer division was sucking wind because they didn't have a sub-$1000 model, not the other way around.

The move to restructure follows severe losses in IBM's consumer PC market, which faced stiff competition from the under-$1,000 PC's sold by its competitors.

With IBM selling tens of thousands fewer Aptiva's each month than it planned, the company's losses are expected to exceed $300 million this year.

In an attempt to gain ground in the already booming sub-$1,000 PC market, IBM plans to unveil a new $999 Aptiva, without a monitor, in November.
