John, JMHO about Acer is that they are seeing a slowdown that might be indigenous to 2nd and 3rd tier boxmakers (actually, Acer might be a "lower first tier). My reasoning is that you can buy a great PC from highly trusted names like Compaq, Dell, HP, IBM or Gateway for a historically very low price. Check this 800 MHz PIII, 128 MB, 20 GB, 17" monitor, Windows ME, for $1,368 before tax. Why bother with an offshore company whose quality, reliability, service, even long term viability may be in question? Could you get a better price, by 50 or 100 bucks? I say who cares, I'll go with the big brand name, Intel too, of course. - TV athome.compaq.com Summary Unit Cost Quantity Price Presario 7000 Series Intel® Pentium® III Processor - 800/133MHz 128MB SyncDRAM PC 133 20.0GB UltraDMA ATA/66 (7200 RPM) Hard Drive 40X MAX CD ROM Drive Free Y@P Phone with 1000 Minutes 17"- New Compaq CV735 Monitor - Quartz White (16.0" VIA) Microsoft Featured Home Collection + MS Word JBL Platinum Speakers with Digital Audio Port 56K ITU v.90 Modem Creative Labs Sounds 1373 w/128 voices 32MB nVidia TNT2 M64 Pro Graphics 3.5" 1.44 MB diskette drive Compaq USB Internet Keyboard Compaq Scroll Mouse Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition Digital Video Center and Studio DV Software 1yr parts/ 1yr labor/ 1yr on-site/ 1yr carry-in $1,368.00 $1,368.00 Subtotal: $1,368.00
