First off. You don't know what you are talking about. The $1000 systems which people are buying in computer stores includes a disk drive and monitor. The retail store price for the 520 ST is the same as the computer store price. Secondly. If you are going to sell a computer at a low price then you are going to have to do a large volume (just like any other product). If you want to pay huge margins when you buy a computer then go ahead. You can feel really proud of your self, because you bought it at a computer store. John
