Paul,,, I do of course assume that most of what COMPAQ sells is to corporate America. I also assume that much of corporate America and most of "business America" is no different than average "consumer" America with the exception of a $49 NIC and a little Cat 5 patch cable. Relatively speaking there are: not many ATM networks; not many CAD/CAM workstations; not many quad Pro or dual PII servers. I've heard countless employees state that they have better machines at home (the 40% that have home computers) than they have at work. I personally see "business" America as a huge market in the next two years; however, unlike retail consumers who buy "all" that they want, most businesses buy "only" what they need. I don't see a great departure in "business" America (or the world for that matter) from the emerging consumer "econo" market. Buckwheat
