Mark you asked"The big question I have is - What is holding the experienced computer buyers
back? Are they waiting for DVD's? Windows 98? This new wave of larger and
faster drives? I hope the products this Spring inspire purchases on the higher end."
Speaking for myself Windows 98 is holding me back.A few of my friends feel the same way;why not wait till summer when prices are usually down due to lower demand as the schools are not ordering yet?
Regards,Dave

This may explain a reluctance to buy now. I think we also have to start considering whether demand near term will be as strong as projected.

I wouldn't even consider a new box right now.
