from Smart Money Interactive - sub $1000 computer poll NOW THAT sub-$1,000 computers have proved their appeal, which company will dominate this new market? When we asked our readers, a clear favorite stood out: Compaq, chosen by 51% of the 2,058 respondents. The only other company to make it into double digits was Dell, with 14% of the total. Packard Bell, Compaq's closest competitor for overall retail market share, drew a mere 9% of the votes. But in the computer industry, the pace of change can cloud any crystal ball. After all, next year we may be wondering who will dominate the sub-$500 market.
