I hear ya. BTW, Kudos again to you and Earlie for nailing this PC sector debacle eons before the paid monkeys on Wall Street. The cascade of painful truth is such that the tech touts are starting to look pathetic, like the little old guy in the Wizard of Oz saying "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!" <ggg> Thanks again for sharing your insights with the thread. -- Robert

Dell giving 2 Pentium III's for the price of one: Dell cuts prices on workstation computers biz.yahoo.com ROUND ROCK, Texas, March 1 (Reuters) - Dell Computer Corp. (Nasdaq:DELL - news) said Monday it cut prices on workstation computers, offering computers with two processors for prices comparable to what rivals are charging for workstations with a single processor. A Dell Precision WorkStation 210 with two 450 megahertz Intel Pentium III processors would cost $2,372, at 9.5 percent the most significant price drop from the previous prices. Dell's workstation prices now range in some cases lower than the equivalent models of rivals Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE:HWP - news) and Compaq Computer Corp. (NYSE:CPQ - news), despite offering an extra processor. A Dell spokesman credited the company's direct-sales model with providing the cost savings enabling it compete on pricing. Dell is neck-and-neck with Hewlett-Packard in sales of workstations, which are networked computers typically used by engineers and others with data-intensive computing needs. Dell shares rose 44 cents, to $80.56, in trade Monday on the Nasdaq stock market.
