I was going to correct your penny error, but you beat me to it! Good news for the sector, IMO. I've been selling computer "stuff" for 12 years. I don't buy clones from TECD or IM. I don't buy clones at all. We build custom systems and if we are asked for a brand name, it is usually for a notebook or for an HP server. The Dells and Gateways of the computer world have been around a long time. They are very popular and have never been available through the normal distribution channels (IM, TECD, etc.). I just don't see a large portion of computers being sold by these companies and fail to see a huge impact on earnings. Put things in perspective. The more computers sold by anyone, the more peripherals and software will be needed. I'm long on both TECD and IM. Own many thousand shares. Judy
