The thing that kills me is that I've really needed a new computer for over a year. I almost bought when the P333 was the top of the line. I had my order in with Mikey, but DELL sent me e-mail telling me the price was $40 more than I had been told on the web site. I e-mailed them back telling them to adjust it back to what I had agreed to or cancel. They canceled, I was shocked. I guess they didn't need that revenue, or the $40 was their entire profit margin. Now I can get a P450 with a larger monitor and hard drive, etc for less. But with the announcement of the Pentium III yesterday I know if I wait I'll be able to get that P450 for even less. Perhaps another couple of months and they'll pay me to take it just to keep them moving out the door. <g> Barb
