<<<<Now the increase in inexpensive machines (those less than $800 including monitors) seems to be restricted to the retail market. And that market is highly seasonal. >>>>
I am less than impressed with CPQ's effort in the under $1k's.
The local Radio shack carries 4 models, only one of which is under
$1k. The other 3 are about 1200,1600,2200 in price.
IMO even first time buyers can be easily persuaded on the merits of buying the 'better', or the 'best' quality with the extra features or the bigger display monitor, and with greater profits to the store.
Strangely, those prices displayed may even benefit Dell who can under-sell competitors in the over $1 k price range.

I will look at the post you mentioned before replying on that issue.

>>Dell will pursue the strategy that will earn its shareholders the greatest return. I am content that management will arrive at the correct decision. <<

Over the short term I think they will try, but I think they have already made some decisions that that have been somewhat near-sighted.

At any rate, the stock is ahead of itself quite a bit at 80 bucks a share.
