Much of what you wrote rings true, but when you start to envision the future of the PC market, you went somewhere unexpected. How can you possibly assert, better get for sub $600 machine soon, cause that market won't be with us long, IMO.? Every marginal development so far indicates the opposite. Unless, that is, you are saying that prices will go so low that only high-end boxes will be that high... <g> -mb
