RE: You underestimate the diverse nature of computing needs today and how they will be very different 2-3 years from now. I find it amusing how many folks can only think of spreadsheets or wordprocessors as the productivity tool most everyone needs or is using a PC for in business applications today. You are right and wrong on this one. Yes I probably underestimate the demand at the high end, On the other hand, Basic computing, which consumes at least 50% of PCs sold, will become ever more powerful and cheeper too. Just like calculators and Drams. I have never been into the design area of a large corporation, It would probably be neet. But I have been in the back offce area and seen the front side of many differnt businesses. I often see bunches of machines that are on, but not being used. A sales person looking up parts or entering orders, someone typing a letter. These are not high demand activities and a large part of the market. I am focusing on the stock price. If the company shows any signs of fear, then the stock should get hit. Jim
