Anyone else from the SF Bay Area care to comment

The pricing you have mentioned is commensurate with what I have observed throughout Silicon Valley -- at major national chains. Mr Kelly is spreading FUD.

You are correct is stating that Compaq is sensitive to its channel, and avoids cannibalizing via web. Many consumers take great pride in saving $100-400, and will risk stepping out of the house (for a 15-20 minute drive) in order to tell such a story. For folks that are immobile or in remote locations, Compaq's price is still superior [see below URL] and includes free shipping.

BTW, the "below cost" argument is nonsense regarding PII 300-400Mhz offerings.
