Simba: Yes, I caught that one, but thanks for the heads-up just the same. A friend of mine owns a company that supplies components to Ford. Neither you nor I should ever experience the annual cost squeeze that this guy goes through. I wonder what the margins will be like when a company sells thousands of PCs to Ford? And of course those thousands of sales to Ford subtract from the pool of those remaining out there who might have paid a reasonable margin at one's store or web site. (NG) Does this not speak to just how commoditized the PC game has become? A chicken in every pot? Best, Earlie.
