S.B.,

The appliance will probably bring in more people who wouldn't have bought a PC due to price. i.e. - the overall market size will be substantially increased.

Initially, some potential PC users, at the margin, will be swayed toward appliances.

That's round 1.

Round 2 will occur within 3 years when the upgrade cycle begins full force. At that time, the growth in home PC sales is likely to take an amazing growth spurt.

Net: I don't see much downside short term. Mid term, I see good upside.

We'll soon know the reality.

Ian.
