Bill, re:<I suspect those numbers are way off. They seem to ignore the screwdriver shop> There are about 30 "screwdriver shops" in San Diego and about 30% of all computer system ads are for K6-based systems. About 1/3 of them don't sell any AMD systems, but this number is slowly dwindling. The rest typically advertise 3-5 systems and the top one or two are PII-based while all the others have prices for all speed grades of either Pentium MMX or K6-MMX. I think there was a poll in Computer Shopper a couple of months ago, in which over 25% of the readers that intended to purchase a new computer in the next six months said it would be AMD-based. I bring this up because the computer hobbyist type is the one who buys from the screwdriver shops at swap meets, etc. Petz
