Khalil, Do you remember when we had a number of pundits on this thread telling us that the consumer market meant nothing to Compaq? It is all business boxes, stupid, seemed to be their attitude. I wonder if they have changed their tune now that their idol has come out and said consumer boxes is the only place where they have a profit margin. <G>

Doesn't CPQ spread their overhead costs on a dollar basis, not a unit basis, making these supposed profit margins on low-priced PCs questionable?
