Greg, Will stay short and please let me know when you get back on the fence or come to the bear side again! Will say that it will be at most 5 to 8 trading days! Hank

Greg, Welcome again to the club. But I have to disagree about the sub-zero's. They are selling a lot of power in them. They are mostly for personal use, and they will take you way beyond 1 year of use. What's nice about them is when a person decides to upgrade, mostly for game use, they will go with the big company names, such as Dell. I looked at CPQ's sub, and it had plenty inside. From what I read, when people upgrade from the sub-zero, they don't stay with the same brand when they change. Again this is good for Dell. Barron's had a two page write-up on 3Coms, about cable modems. So we should be seeing a tech Monday.

Greg - Everyone seems to be saying the sub 1K PC is obsolete the day it gets taken home! BUT, I'm writing this on a 486/DX2 PC bought in 1993, and it runs my real time quote system and the Internet just fine! I plan to continue using it for some time to come, and I also consider myself fairly knowledgeable in the PC area. The point is that for many folks a 200mhz Pentium (units being sold now are upgradeable for around 900-1000 bucks) is plenty! I've seen Meat's updates to the effect that '128meg is not enough', and chuckle when he says that! (Meat - no offense intended, I enjoy your posts). I don't think the average sub 1k buyer is thinking about adding a scanner (SCSI is no longer necessary, you can do parallel port anyway - Visioneer 6000 is a nice product), or a tape backup, or what have you. I think they are looking to get MSFT Office and the Internet. John
