Sig. You've essentially nailed it. $1000 PC's have always been with us. Now, it's a huge marketing message and leading vendors are bundling these entry level turn-key solutions. Another point worth mentioning is the configuration game. This is how richer configurations are pushed. Just visit any vendor's website and try to configure a sub $1000. If they would offer 16MB EDO or 2G drives in combo with pentium 166MHZ (plus a few other trade down options), you'd be able to configure an sub-zero PC easy. That's why Dell knows it can be in this game in a minute if need be. It's just a re-bundling effort and marketing message. MEATHEAD
