Meathead,

The two retail stores I visited yesterday said that they were making almost nothing off the low cost PC's. I asked one salesman why they bother carrying them if they are not making a profit on them. He said thay make their profit on the software and accessories. They also sell two service policies for 1 and 3 years at 50 and 100 bucks respectively.

He also said that the low end subzero CPQ at 799 was not selling well compared to the 999 model.

Oh well! I guess you can ship a $50 bill with every machine.
This will bury some companies!
