John, interesting forecast for DVD-ROM vs. consumer DVD. I know that the consumer boxes are moving here in Northern California and I guess I'm just a little frustrated that I couldn't buy one with Cube inside (I opted for a Toshiba). I haven't found a retailer that sells the Samsung unit in San Francisco. By the way, Mr. B. mentioned working with Compaq during the last conference call. Any scoop here? What are they using for a decoder now in their desktop line?
