Michael - re: "Personal computer sales of 2,000 mass retail home electric appliance stores.." I think the old adage applies: "The Reports of the PC's death in S.E. Asia & Japan have been greatly exaggerated". Paul

Michael - Compaq is Selling Intel-Based Deskpro PCs for <$1000 Looks like Intel is still on the "Supplier list" for Compaq - giving AMD a run for its money. Paul {============================} news.com Compaq cuts Deskpro prices By Erich Luening February 2, 1998, 7:30 a.m. PT Compaq Computer (CPQ) continues to cut price tags on its PCs. Today, the Houston-based computer powerhouse made across-the-board price cuts of up to 18 percent on all business desktop computers. The move means there are now five Deskpro models priced below $1,000, Compaq said. Prices for Compaq Deskpro 2000 models were reduced by as much as 14 percent, with three models priced below $1,000, which includes a model with an Intel 200 MHz Pentium processor with MMX technology. The company said it now offers its customers a choice of processors ranging from the Intel 166 MHz Pentium processor with MMX technology to the Intel 300 MHz Pentium II for prices ranging from $940 to $2,090. In addition, Compaq cut prices for the Deskpro 4000, with its Intel Pentium II at to 333 MHz, by 18 percent. The Deskpro 4000S, featuring a Pentium 166 MHz, is now priced as low as $920, the company's lowest priced Deskpro model, according to the company. Also included in the price cutting binge was the company's Net PC offering, the Deskpro 4000N, which now comes in three models, with prices ranging from $960 to $1,190. And Compaq cuts prices by 17 percent on the Deskpro 6000 series, which includes Pentium II processors and a MatroxMillenium II graphics card. Prices now range from $2,040 to $3,220. Compaq attributed the price reductions to the increased "efficiencies" of Compaq's build-to-order manufacturing processes and reductions in component costs. In December, the company cut prices for its Presario model of PC to as low as $699.
