I'm still selling as many new upgrade components & new MoBo's as ever - the 
market is nowhere near saturated & people *always* want faster machines. That 
particular market is nowhere near dead - with cheaper prices, themarket has 
somewhat increased - I'm selling around 30% more new MoBo's now than a year 
ago - how do you figure saturation ?

Also, with the availability & advertiing of cheap broadband & ISDN
- I'm seeing 
more people who have never owned a PC getting one these days. It's an 
increasing marketplace, not stagnant or decreasing.

cheers,

Lance
