what a country<G>

>>Buy what? Another PC that is not needed? A car that can wait? Cable modems? (I would buy that in a second but they are not offered in my area) but will the average person see the need? What then, what are people going to buy: phones, PCs, cars, trucks, airplanes, increased restuarant dining, what????? - Please tell me where you see increased consumer spending, and in what timeframe.

Without increased consumer spending, where are we headed? Recession anyone? Stagflation perhaps? Greenspan has us a ZERO growth right now. ZERO! Is this just nother "inventory problem"? It will all be corrected in a quarter and people will start to buy again. I come back to my question of buy what??>>>
