mb: Not me. Actually, all one need do is travel down to the local PC store and ask how P3 sales are going. Don't ask with a smile on your face, as they will take it as a sarcastic remark and commit physical violence upon your body. (g) To be serious, this thing is taking on a life of its own. While I have been pointing out the deceleration in the PC arena for two years, I have never seen such a collapse in sales like this one. I encourage all of the gang to visit stores and report back here, as I don't want to be the messenger who gets shot for providing the bad news. It is worse than a mess. My fear now is that the market will wake up to this as a result of a wave of one piece of bad news after another. IMHO, it is going to be impossible to ignore what is happening out there and we could see a full-blown collapse in the tech stocks,.... and soon. While this tulip has long since stopped discounting anything, it will have difficulty ignoring a sales implosion. Best, Earlie
