Burt, <Ali - Since you want to know - Full page color add..> And why are you still posting this to Cirrus? Few remarks follow: <Has three featured desktops at top of add (2 Intel 1 AMD).> I am delighted that your land of Nod is awake little by little - whole 1 Athlon on ad! <One of the six is a 700 MHz P3 from HP and another is an 800 MHz P3 from HP.> You should realize the difference between advertising and availability. Although both words start with "a", there is a big difference:) For example, HDTV was advertized YEARS before it become available in stores. Did you call the store and order one 800-machine? What was the lead time they phoned you back? <Vendor is a two store chain, one in ..> This is great, a chain of two stores.. makes deep sense :) <Must be that IBM is closing out the consumer line at fire sale prices.> You apparently misunderstood the move: IBM is NOT closing their consumer lines. They are moving from RETAIL to e-COMMERCE. Burt, you have a great method of market research: lie on your coach and look through your local area single news-flyer. Why not stand up and visit "all those Fry's" and ask for a 800 system for immediate delivery? Dream well, - Ali
