Stephen: Regarding the sub 1000 PC's: This has not been a great concern to me as the bill for my first Dell in 1993 was $1134 including 7% Calif tax, a color monitor, one year zero cost warrantee. Considering that an 80 meg hard drive for an IBM cost $250 and that the fixed memory chips were much higher then, it was not far from being a $1000 item. So I rate all the talk to be a great advertizing gimmick being promoted to the hilt by both the vendors and the stores and it is good news for the PC industry to have more people owning them. I am a bit concerned with giving away printers also tho, as thats coming close to a war where there is little profit left.
