<<How many people will buy a 400Mhz DELL for $2400(?) when they can get a 266Mhz for $1500(?) How many units will ship? What are the margins? What percentage feels the need to pay $900 more today for what will be $1500 in six months? People are learning that it just doesn't make sense to throw money away for a 6 month advantage.>> I humbly submit myself as an example. I waited months, heck years to find the "sweet spot" before buying a new desktop, then ultimately had a virtual seizure of impatience and bought a Dell 333 in March for big bucks, knowing that the faster Deschutes machines with the important 100 mHz system bus were just months away. If I had it to do over again would I wait? In hindsight yes because of the significant performance difference at an almost equivalent price...but I'd be willing to bet you that next time I'll fall prey to the same capriciousness again. And I bet I'm not alone... Chris
