Matt,

Briefly it said the interest in sub $1000 computers is starting to die down

That is true. The next wave is sub-$500 computers.

BTW: Here is a quote from the article:
... we all want the fastest Internet speed we can get. The family spent $1,800 on a Gateway computer with a Pentium II chip and a large hard drive.

Obviously the author, and the people interviewed, were highly knowledgable about computers. (There is nothing like a 450 MHz CPU for speeding up internet access.)

Have you heard that IBM is coming out with a $699 Cyrix computer, and HP is rumored to be coming out with a $699 Cyrix package that includes a printer?
