First Cheryl let me caution you on accusing me of "crude language" and "name-calling" ; I have never done either one of these. >> HWP is splitting up into 2 >> CPQ fired its long-standing CEO NOT because of "temporal" problems >> of oversaturation in the market. What your missing is there was a shift (not a slow down) to buying mainly sub $1000 PC's from upstarts like Microwerkz, Emachines and Jabil (and others). High end was oversaturated but like I said that is temporal. We'll see demand increase for > $1000 machines as the PIII roles out replacing PII and comes down in price. Look at DELL, GTW, JBL and hopefully CPQ being the fore-runners. IBM/HP haven't figured out the very competitive PC industry yet. A UNIX workstation is no more RAS that a PC. If fact I could argue that PC serviceability is much better. DELL offers 24 hour replacement support for 3 years for any component. That means if my drive fails today, a DELL person will be on-site in my house the current day or following day with a replacement drive. Try getting that kind of support from Sun ?
