Even1 and all, "Sub-$1,000 PCs stifle DVD growth " argues this story, but Dell says: >"[Second], we've found that consumers have a budget when they're buying a PC, and if the ones they're looking at cost less than the budget, they'll upgrade the peripherals. The budget stays stable."< and Jim Porter says: "It's up to the system manufacturers, and most of them would kill their own mother to save $20," said Jim Porter, editor of DiskTrend. "As long as the PC maker believes that only a small percentage of his market is going to want a DVD-ROM drive at this time, he's not going to include it except at the high end [of the product line]."< Seems to me customers would probably add a ZIP to a sub-$1,000 PC if they could get it for $50. news.com Gottfried
