All these reports are amazing, few months ago it was sub $1000 computer systems and now it's not.

Now the stupit analyts would put a negative spin on this and punish the manufacturers that are most exposed to sub $1000.

Mohan, Re:High-end PC sales, up ---> (last year's low-end) == (this
year's high-end). Nothing really news. Expects the same in 1998.

Also this year's high-end is very, very good machine ---> PC sales
should be on donw-trend slowly due to the capabilities of these
machines.

PC is a commodity business and is a victim of its own success, ie:
nature's cycle. PC should be coming from SEA more and more due to
cost advantage and U.S company will be sale/marketeer, which we
are very, very good or damned good at.

Get any PC and pay Michael Jordan, Dennis Rodman, Shag ... to have
the ad. and you get a very good PC (well, at least the sale is good).

I have enphasysize on this thread over and over again that sub $1000 PCs just additional
added on business for CPQ, and the middle and high end PC business will be as good , or even better , as before. So, this article proved my point !!!!!!!!! CPQ's revenue and earning
will explode for the current quarter !!!!!!!!!!
