Sounding more like a stationery store than a computer company, Compaq Computer Corp. (NYSE:CPQ - news) on Wednesday unveiled "back-to-school" PCs whose colors can be changed after purchase Is this supposed to be a compliment....a stationery store? And are they ripping off for the EasyPC concept? ted

Milo, re:Compaq back to school PC's Compaq's colorful 'back-to-school' PCs-Wednesday June 21 05:15 PM EDT By Staff, ZDNet News ... In a press release, Compaq said the Presario 5000 starts at $649 and features Celeron and Pentium III processors and USB ports. Also included are a CD-RW drive and 40X max CD-ROM drive, along with a DVD-ROM drive on some models. The Presario 7000, which starts at $960, adds two IEEE 1394 ports, a Sound Blaster PCI audio card, AMD Athlon processors and a 16-megabit NVidia TNT2 graphics card. So AMD gets the high end, Intel the low end. I wonder if there will be a "6000" series in the middle using, guess what, DURON. THAT would be really cool. And which chipset is it that includes IEEE 1394 -- ALi, VIA or SiS? Petz
