Reggie, >IBM should by BeOS and AMD and churn out some real sub $800 >computers. It is a better use of the money than those worthless >share buybacks. IBM should buy BeOS and use its PowerPC processors which will blow Pentiums away and cost less per unit. My ruthless thoughts exactly: remember when I stated that IBM should play the game that MSFT is playing. Its simple: continually drop the price of IBM hardware until the DELL's, GATEWAY's, and COMPAQ's begin to lose money, at that point its only a matter of time... IBM could lose $3 billion a year grabbing market-share, could COMPAQ lose that much trying to maintain theirs? Of course, if you bundle BeOS and a set of development tools with each system for free it would not hurt. I think the market is now price-driven and would rather pay $650 for an IBM than $700 for a DELL. It would than be interesting to see how long it would take DELL, COMPAQ, etc. to file complaints of "dumping" with our fair government. Just a thought, Norm
