Calculator prices fell to levels that caused the VISA company's to give them for free.

How can you make $500 on the $300 computer??????????????

By the end of 1998, computers will be $300.............

Dissappearing Profit margins will be the talk of the computer industry in the 1998 year...........

DELL is being slammed with returns and are taking over a week to get back with you on the Return numbers they require. My company is returning over 50 Units due to pricing and we are being charged a fee for the S&H.... Go to CompUSA and there is no return fee.
Dell very high prices compared to CPQ units at COMPUSA..
NOW I know how CPU came in with good earnings...

Jim:
<<< PC prices deflation is now at a pace never seen in the industry before. >>>>
Recent price cutting just minor stuff, try this 1996 data from the Dell site. 56% in 9 months, 16% in Sept followed by 12% in October,followed by more cuts.....
dell.com
At that rate nine months from now a $1000 pc could be selling for less than $500.
