>> It's amazing this machine sells so well, isn't it? That's not so amazing; it's cheap, it's preconfigured, it's cheap, it's extremely visible (in every department store, electronics store, computer chain store, and discount store), and it's cheap. <g> It's sort of the C-64 syndrome. Maybe that's a lesson for CEI. Actually, I remember that a few months after the A2000 was released, I saw a small (about 1/32 page) Dilliard's ad telling people to come see it. A few months later, I was in the store, and I didn't see any. I guess that's Commodore for you. 🙁 Well, anyway, thanks for the warning…back when my brother was mad at himself for getting the Packard Bell (a few months ago), he was thinking about getting a Gateway P5. I guess it's a good thing he didn't. – Jim, on AutoPilot!
