Hi Paul,

Thanks for your post.

What you saw at COMPUSA happens to be my observations, also.

From my own personal experience, I have a large number of nephews and nieces ranging in age from early teens to being college students. None of them--and I emphasize NONE--wants a sub1K job for Christmas or graduation.

When economy was the concern, these kids would rather work and save before they could afford something that is not so limiting.

I think the sub1K machines may be a "niche fad" for the time being, but I can't see it ever approach the main stream market sector.

Regards,
Ibexx
