Paul: My wife, who shops at Sam's Club on occasion, reports that on her most recent trip there, all machines except one were Intel based. This compares to a couple of months ago when it was the other way around. (Everything AMD or Cyrix chips with only one Intel). Costco used to have a wide selection of up to 6 or 7 desktops. They have drastically reduced the total number they carry to around 4. For a while Kmart chips were in half those machines. Today it is 3 Intel to 1 AMD. So for those who impulse buy pc's while picking up a 55 gallon drum of Spanish Olives the retail sector seems to be moving back to Intel. Sorry no numbers on Target and Seven Eleven. Regards, Greg
