<< Too bad they didn't make any money selling computers!>>

I do not understand your comment. If you have watched MEUI for any length of time, you would say...
"Finally, they are making money selling computers again". Look at the numbers..

The quarterly numbers are the important numbers. We all can
acknowledge that MUEI was floundering until Joel stepped in. What I
like is the gross margin of the PC business is higher this quarter
than a year ago. Even though the revenue is less, ($316,825 vs
$390,498) the gross margin is higher ($69,356 vs $63,726). This
combined with the lowering the inventory numbers is positive. Joel
has focused MUEI back to the direct model.

In response to your questions about the decrease in assets from the
previous year... assets went down with the sale of the Contract
Manufacturing Group. MUEI has also closed most of their store fronts
that they had.

I read this as a positive quarterly/year end report that signifies
the company's turn around and focus.

Go MEUI!
