Jorge. Re: "Christmas sales for many retailers was a disappointment this year..." Everything I have read or heard has been positive for computers. (Maybe the softness at Sears et al is because more of the family budget for gifts went to computers).

The stores that did poorly were department stores and apparel. Discounters like Wal-Mart did well and upscale stores like Tiffany did well.

Net Net, I would not extrapolate weaknesses in some areas for weaknesses in technology.
