Hey Rockys, Yesterday you guys were accused of working for a hedge fund and none of you "sybils" ever responded. Pretty serious charge, where's the vigorous denial? So what is it guys....yes or no? archcc

>>You are confused. You mistake Top-Line revenues with profitability, which is the bottom line. By bundling Flop! drives with old digicam models (that the brand new PMA announcemnts are replacing), online retailers can keep the prices and bring the cash in, despite taking a hit on profits. But they do this because least top-line revenues look good to investors and creditors.<< Of course, this ignores the fact that the Agfa 1680 is a new model, not an old one, and the fact that this bundle is sponsored by Agfa, not by the online retailers. I believe I already pointed that out. Do facts matter to you at all? I checked into the matter a bit further and discoverd that the Kodak DC260 which is being bundled with Clik! is one of Kodak's newest cameras, featuring a 1.6 megapixel ccd and zoom. The Olympus D400Z is also a new megapixel (1.3) model with zoom. Gee, what a surprise! These aren't close-out models at all. Furthermore, PC Connection sells the Kodak DC260 by itself for $899, and when bundled with the Clik! it's $1,099. The Olympus D400Z by itself is $799, and with the Clik! bundle its $999. I'm sure once again you will have no response to this. So who's confused? - Allen
