And/or better educated customers willing and able to understand the value of a better crafted system when comparing to the one that didn't "spend the pennies." Customers want lower prices, shareholders want greater profits. Something ends-up giving when squeezed between those two. As to it being pennies, or scores of pennies, or hundreds of pennies more, where can one go to veryify that it is indeed pennies? Is it indeed pennies to rework a PCB or redesign a chassis when say ostensibly socket-compatible wizzy new processor Z tickles things one never saw before with processors W, X and Y? rick jones -- I don't interest myself in "why". I think more often in terms of "when", sometimes "where"; always "how much." - Joubert these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... :) feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH... _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
