Skeeter Bug,

That's old news to start with. Two of the articles focus on the low-to-lower end retail sector which DELL has been avoiding for some time and has recently reiterated their continued plan to do so. So I do not quite understand why you continue to find the retail sector's woes as relevant to DELL.

As for IBM's sub 1K business PCs, two comments:

One, these machines do not have the average muscle required by a business PC from my personal experience. At best, they may work for call center type of situations. IBM is also reported in the same article to provide a more capable machine with a price tag in the 2k+ range.

Two, according to Gary Greenberg (I believe, but I may be wrong) IBM is losing a sizable chunk of money (somewhere in the BB range) in it's PC business on an yearly basis. How long do you think this will continue? Not all companies are AMD-clones, you know?

-BGR.
