Dave, I am also sure that Worst Buy would not have the thing in their store if they didn't get a kickback. <G> CompUSA has had such a system for a long time and they have lots of sales from it. It still comes down to the fact that any sales on that system takes away from the boxes sitting on the shelf. Unless Compaq is stealing all new orders from folks who would otherwise have purchased another brand, they have to be cannibalizing themselves.

I agree with you about wanting to walk out with the system. Most people do not buy a box until they need it. Sort of like with guns. Give them a week cooling down period and they may change their minds. <G>
