I wasn't really referring to the masses, as I mentioned, I was only talking about a relatively small percentage.

In reality, the masses haven't spoken as you say. Look at Apple. They sell a bad computer at a high price. How about a good computer at the same price? If there's a market for Apples, and there certainly is, there's a market for the type of computer I'm talking about.

I wasn't really saying HP or Dell, although even with them, it could work. The margins are paper thin on the machines they sell now. A higher cost computer, could have higher margins, and you'd have a lot of brand loyalty. It's not like Intel where you can't really gain market share, since you have most of it. If a maker can produce a very appealing computer that isn't a commodity, they can gain market share. Look at Apple, again, for an example, and their computers aren't so appealing, and don't represent engineering excellence.
