paul...another company starting with.."a".....AST..ATT..AMIGA and the once and always commodore...had full market share...the innovator..but couldn't adapt to the standard that ibm at/xt established in the business communities....and the clones ran ibm down and also fell by the wayside.... there has yet to be a monkey in any sector that can long term survive with thin margins...for volume and revenues are the saving grace...until the sales growth stumbles......and as they weaken...enter the gorillas to take the bananas.. as always, your comments appreciated...ed a.

She already had a monitor but adding a 17" monitor w/speakers was $179 if it was bought with the package. list for everything was probably around $879. I think DELL can and does produce competitive offerings. My point was that these are capable machines, not stripped down toys.

>>. Let us see how CPQ can survive this rock bottom price. Remember Packard Bell/NEC, Acer, Huyndai and another company starting with the letter "A"?<< This is the argument that Business Week is saying. The desire to become accessed to the internet is causing demand for cheap inexpensive computer which could or will hurt the bottom line of the big names such as Compaq, IBM and Dell. New computer buyers are not familiar with quality but only cost conscience. What is your take on this argument and how it may affect Dell??? Frank
