You can find one at your local Gateway country Store.

Volumes?

WHere can I find one at retail ?

Remember what the AMFedayeen say - if it can't be found in a retail PC, it's a paper launch ! >

So, you are saying since you are an AMFedayeen, you don't consider it volume unless it shows up in retail?

Normally, I would agree that widespread retail availability is a good benchmark but I think in the last year the game has changed. Faster time to market means Dell/Gateway (and anyone else who can do direct) will be out with the product first. Retail will lag by 4-6 weeks depending on the vendor. Year 1999 may have permanently changed what is a definition of volume launch.

If someone wants to consider retail availability as the benchmark so be it - I am not arguing on a 4-6 week delta.
