My only point is that at-least-somewhat-sophisticated buyers (which includes most multi-user micro customers, I think) base their decisions on the price/performance of the configuration that meets their needs, without regard for the existence or price/performance of any other configurations that may be available. I promise to say no more. --Bruce Burger AT&T-Information Systems Lincroft, NJ {...ihnp4!}hogpc!btb
