McJimbo - Re: '. I don't know if you remember but DELL once sold through retail outlets..." No - I DON'T REMEMBER - maybe you can refresh my memory. I do remember a mail order house selling peripherals called PC Brands (I think) which later changed its name to DELL. As for IBM - getting out of the PC business will be good for them - just as getting out of the x86 CPU business was GREAT for NSM and IDTi. Just watch IBM's stock ZOOM when they announce their final retreat. Paul
