Joey, re:<CPQ's retail problem = K6?> No, I'm afraid its the other way around. CPQ has large inventory of pentium machines and the K6 Presario's are flying off the shelves. Let me tell you a funny story from Usenet: : I wasin best buy 4weeks ago on saturday. There were 4 people : were buying the Compaq K6 233MHz systems for $999. There was : one man (has a similar figure of lee bailey ,O.J Simpson lawyer) : standing around. He told the 4 people buying the K6 system that : they made a mistake, that they should buy the "intel inside" : machines. These four people were very polite to listen to this : guy but went ahead to buy the K6 compaq anyway. The saleman : were very happy he said he has sold twice K6 machines than : Pentium II. The bailey looks alike looked very angry, he, : in his aggressive way, took the "Sony pentium 233MHz" machine, : put it in his cart then told everyone that he's going to buy : that $1,499 (w/o monitor) machine just to show everyone he's : smart. : : One of the man who bought the K6 just laught and told his wife : "for $500 difference, let's look for a nice printer.
