RE: I agree with your points. The critical measure is the rate at which computers find their way to the end consumer. I think critics on this thread have pointed out that Compaq did not complain about this method when it was stuffing the channel and consequently sales were overestimated. Chuz, You bring up a great point here. They are talking about negative GDP, and contracting consumer spending. In that environment, will DELL be able to continue selling $2,100 PC's, or do you think the few folks that are still are going to buy a PC might go for the lower priced models ? Remember, this question is being asked assuming that consumer spending is slowing. Jim
