"We see a president who can barely string together a coherent sentence"
At least he isn't full of delusions of grandeur, like Al Gore who actually claims he created the Internet. Bush does have a tendency to correct his jumbled speech or accept corrections from others; far more dangerous is Gore's continued insistence that he invented the Internet while in Congress although it existed before he was elected.

The beautiful thing about PCs compared to somethign like DVD players and VCRs is that market penetration will have little effect on curbing demand. Once you have purchased one computer you are very likely to purchase another in the next 5 years. Compare that to VCRs: I have the same one I had 9 years ago, in the same time I have purchased 3 or four PC systems (notebooks etc.)
My parents have spent the first 10 years fo this study without a computer, but when they bought one, they jumped on the band wagon and have upgraded and will do so again soon. There is no other product out there...Well i 'm sure there is and I will receive a bunch of commments abotu which product experience the same phenomen, but my point remains.
