Lee, I want to be very nice about this. Let my try to clarify on this. Say some IT guy got talked into buying PII-233's a year ago for a bunch of secrataries and assistants thinking their software demands would increase expotentialy like they have in the past. Today, 12 months later, it is becoming clear that P-166's non MMX would have been suffecient, and will most likely continue to be suffecient for some time to come, OK, maybe P-200's Could this happen and if it could, Would that IT guy hold a grudge or some sort of anamosity against the sales person that did the talking ? Would the purchace of overcapacity cause him to act differently the next time he buys Thanks Jim

re customers upset I know lots of people who have bought mighty nice Dels and Compaqs that have more capacity, speed, etc etc than they need. I dont know one who complains about it, or even realizes that they dont need all they have!!!! People who are less knowledgable and therefore can be "talked into" buying a certain computer are not knowledgeable enough to realize they could have done with less!!!!! In fact once they learn to use their computer, if it works, rarely freezes, etc etc, they are "happy campers". And because a Dell or Compaq machine usually gives long trouble free service, nothing else matters! Freeus
