>>The point of the Newsweek article was that most homes that can afford and need a computer already have one and see fewer reasons to buy a new one.<< Which I disagree with. PC are like cars in some respects. 1. Many families have more than one. 2. owner want to update/upgrade periodically. 3. Some people want the lastest, most expensive. Just bought a new Dell P-III. Love its' new features. The key word is "most" homes. You are unusual. I am at the other extreme. Other than a new monitor, we have not upgraded for 3 years, and I would sooner plunk money into faster bandwidth or a new handheld (if I could find one I really like).
