< if Dell is not in the Sub 1000 market,this seems unlikely,unless I am not getting what you are saying. Possibly a clarification might be in order.>

What I'm saying is DELL only offered >1K boxes. CPQ offered both. New customers had the advantage with CPQ because of price, and just as importantly, the ability to try it in a retail establishment. Any experienced user, (experience gained from using a PC at work) would probably not buy a sub 1k PC unless they were forced to by economics. Then they relied on the reputation of the manufacture.

Mohan, you've been on this thread longer than I have. What's your impression of Monday? Thanks

Mike Gordon
