Patrick, regarding retail sales channels....

I have been thinking about the nature of what is happening and
looking at some of the retail operations. Frankly, even CompUSA does
not impress me and it is a lot better than Circuit City or the
Good Guys. Tandy is the worst the worst I have seen. I think that
these stores are going to have to change the way they are doing
business or get out of the business.

I think that GATE and DELL have a viable business model. They will get a lot of business
from these retail chains. the retailers are not neccessary.
Sometimes, it is good to go to a store which has a lot of competing
products to see them and compare them. This helps one formulate more
clearly what they need to buy. In the latter case, the store is in
a good position to close the sale if it has a good price.
But generally, you can get it cheaper thru a direct marketeer.

If I am right the market is changing and a lot of the retail stores
that are behind the times are going to get hit. Possible short candidates.

Just some thoughts,

Jim K.
