>>>stak - Re: "nope, when Chrome is available it won't be taxing to the limits even the slowest cpu's on sale at the time. " Wow - a 180 degree shift! <<< A shift by who or whom?!? Here's a very large shift in prices from June/96 to April/98 and also in market share of sub $1,000 PCs. According to PC Data, Reston, Va., systems costing $2,000 and up accounted for 7.4 percent of retail PC sales in April, down from 29.5 percent in June 1996. The figures do not include direct sales. Over that time, sales of sub-$1,000 PCs jumped from 1.2 percent to 48.4 percent. "When has there ever been a massive price-performance shift in the technology industry that has not been permanent?" asked Jeff Matthews, a general partner with Ram Partners. Matthews cited previous examples: Mainframes switching to minis, and minis to PCs. >>>I thought you were the champion of Microsoft's incredible development capabilities!<<< Me? the champion of Microsoft's... ???
