Paul,
RE:"

I believe Compaq's problem is quite simple. COMPAQ almost single
handedly ENDORSED, EMBRACED, and STARTED the sub $1000
PC bonanza with their choice of the cheap Cyrix MediaGX machine
back in February of 1997.

Once they started it, everybody jumped on the bandwagon, offering
similar machines - although most were Intel based. When AMD put out
their K6 and Intel responded with immediate price cuts, the race was on
to sell anything and everything at the stampede prices approaching
$1,000."

That's true. As I told someone back then, it's the demand that will drive the market. Now that the demand for cheaper computers is on a roll there is no stopping it. Looks like price is determining the market... Just as it should...
