>>I don't think PC makers are making money on the sub-$1000 systems.

I don't know about all companies, but I do know that Compaq makes money on these machines. Just don't know how much. Nevertheless, Compaq's overall revenue margins went up last year to 27.%5 even while selling these sub-$1000 machines..

I wouldn't call them obsolete machines either. You can buy a 233 MMX for less than $1000. That's still a pretty good machine.
