<To say that sales of CREAF products is not linked to computer sales is...well, you know what? I don't even have words for it.> Hold on a minute. Try this line of thinking. If the biggest part of CREAFs sales are in the retail distribution channel and not to OEMs, then people (like me) who have decided to upgrade their present computers and postpone buying a new box could quite possibly create a situation where declining box sales portend an increase of sales of CREAF products via component upgrades. Just trying to look at all angles here. MSFT and INTC however derive the lions share of their revenues from OEMs not upgrade retail sales By the way, would it be possible to debate and disagree without all the insults? John
