Greater Fool, re: "I take it you have done so?" No, a guess. re: "Computers are becoming less complex and expensive, anyway." $1K is A LOT of money for the average consumer. Outside of a house, a car, it's one of their most expensive purchases. Less complex?, not for the average consumer. re: "The bulk of consumers want computers for e-shopping and e-mail and maybe to surf the web; their concern with computers is not so much how whiz-bang fast they are but how they'll use it to get around. So a fast modem, a cable modem, satellite dish, or DSL are their purchasing concerns now." (I take it you have asked them?) The consumer who is spending $1k of his hard earned money on something he knows very little about, first and foremost, doesn't want to make a mistake. Brand makes him feel comfortable, Intel makes him feel comfortable. John
