Charles, Sorry I wasnt clear. Assume someone buys a sub-1000 PC as a second box, which apparently many are doing. What would prompt someone in a years time to upgrade to a newer sub-1000 PC. I just have a gut feeling that there will be a substantial impact initially, and then will taper off dramatically after the first purchase. I dont think the PC makers will be able to cannibalize themselves for too long. stephen

"...Dell has an excellent simulation group, years of investment into a validation H/W and S/w lab which has a cache of troublesome boards and configurations that only the best systems could survive without a crash or hang. Thats why corporate customers buy Dell corporate boxes. A cheap no frills PC is ok, maybe for a mild user for home, but hang it on a network and running many combinations of hardware/software out there, and it will have a more difficult time of staying up or incompatibilities. Sure, over time you would think these issues should go away, but has congress made taxes less complex?no, only more complex. With competition and fast changing technology..." Charles - You da man!!
