Kealoha - Re" " It's my belief that the replacement cycle of a new sub-$1000 customer is-at worst-18 months". Upgrades, IHO, "It's one of therichest opportunities ever handed to us"... If he's correct, I wonder if there will be a backlash towards Compaq for selling the naive those non-upgradeable, underpowered MediaGX boxes - with DELL getting the bulk of the replacement business. I can see the DELL adds - " $50 rebate to all MediaGX owners when purchasing a new Dell Pentium II system - put your MediaGX machine in an envelope and mail it to us in Austin, Texas. Or, keep the MediaGX and we'll refund you $75! Paul
