Mohan, I found some news on today's Microsoft Investor.... investor.msn.com ..... titled "Torture! The PC and the Pendulum"........This writer says the sub one-k PC's sales are led by CPQ.....Goes on to say while that may be good for the moment, the market is unsure whether cannibalization of higher-end products is going to be the outcome, hurting margins......Says 1998 could signal the decline of the PC industry........Any thoughts whether this would hold true with foreign markets still emerging as PC purchasers?.......George
