You can be certain that within 6 months of your purchase: a) the price will drop, b) the computer's price won't change but the specs will improve, or c) some combination thereof. If you need the computer, buy it. If you insist on waiting for the best deal you'll still be thinking about buying your first new computer on the day you die. -=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=- All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by frost. davidwb at spymac.com
