Time Traveler, I stand corrected. I saw it (the HP Celeron) about 1 week ago -- it may have been 300MHz as you mentioned, with better speakers. My analogy still stands, but with agreeably less weight. Recollections are not always perfect. I don't really dislike HP -- well except for their PC's. But I worked for IBM for 22 years, and hold some stock (not much) in both IBM and AMD. IBM has evolved to more of a service company under Gerstner's reign; they needed to to this to survive. AT 9x cash flow though it's not cheap, worth holding but no buy. You're probably right that HP is more interesting at these levels than IBM. Regards -- John
