Collin,

For a long time, $2,000 was a minimum price point in the laptop market.
Prices eventually dropped thru that level and laptops now outsell desktops.
They are flying off the shelves.

19 months ago, I paid $499 for a Sony P&S (S75) with 3.2 megapixels.  It was 
a low price in the market, $600 was far more common.  Now the Pentax Optio S 
is out of stock with a common retail price of $400.  

People are enthusiastic about digital in conjunction with their computers.  
At a low enough price, lots of digital cameras will be sold.  This is the 
'Polaroid' revolution all over again.  Instant pictures...

Regards,  Bob S.
