<<Not that you know all these.>> Well, I got puzzled at this sarcastic remark. So I looked back at my post in which it should have read <<not that you don't know all these.>> Sorry for the confusion. Any how, just curious, what made you come over here to pick a fight with some hard-core bears? -g-

Paul, as MB says it ain't sales it's margins saturation or a slowdown in the rate of growth in PCs and viable competition from AMD and Nat'l Semi/Cyrix combined with the fact that a lowcost PC is adequate for most PC users have brought down margins. The hope that global sales would save the PC market is now hopeless. Sure they will sell PCs they just won't have the volume that the industry "anticipated" . A global recession only adds to these problems. Mike
