>> The assumption here is that the rebate is from IOM, <<

If that be the case, then the next question is whether it is a limited test market promotion, or if it will be retail channel wide. I'ts been almost two years (?) since KE announced the $99 price goal. Recall also that he has always maintained that IOM would do it without sacrificing margins.
IF they have in fact actually achieved the magic price point while maintaining margins, its, well....... HUGE!!.

Back in the old IOMG days, there as a great deal of analysis posted about what breaking the $100 retail barrier woul mean to sales/bottom line figures. The numbers were staggering.

Allen M. -- great receipe, but.... you could've followed LP's example and included an obligatory mention of IOM in your post. For instance, is the receipe stored on a Zip or Jaz disk?
