Larry, I pulled out a May 1997 issue of PC Mag. Dell's fastest and featured PC was a $2399 P200/MMX with 32MB ram and the usual accessories, including 15" monitor. Todays Sub-0's, (less monitor of course), have faster CPU's, faster CDROM's, faster graphics, as much or more RAM, many have bigger hard disks and USB. So I should deduce the Dell PC purchased last year is relegated to a door-stop? And all this new(?) Software coming down the line won't run on the 100's of millions of legacy machines? No wonder the consumer is becoming disenchanted with these relentless technology upgrades.
