Hardware prices




a little off topic, but here goes:

remember I told some of you to wait befoer you make that big purchase?
welp... the MMX line started selling two weeks ago, and already the prices
dropped like crazy. dealer prices started at $750 and are now down at $420
for the P200-MMX(!). The MMX's announcement also caused the P166 to drop
from a dealer price of $420 to $220 (yes, almost 50%!), and wait... they
told me another drop is expected by the end of January, maybe even 40%
more!

also note: those of you who are like me self employed or registered as LTD
companies, the PCHAT (trns?) on PCs in the IRS has gone up from 25% a year
to 33% a year starting for hardware purchased on 1/1/97 and on... I think
I'm upgrading to P200mmx in 6-7 weeks :-P
