>But my sources tell me that nearly anyone who has a mission critical problem that a new box can fix bought them last year. Also, the weak pc sales numbers, so far, agree with me.

Mike, I respect your sources and the numbers, but the more I think about this, the less sense it makes to me. ASP declined 20% or more last year and is still dropping. So why should everyone run out and replace their old boxes a year or eighteen months before they have to? Better to wait and get'em cheaper.
