I am somewhat livid about the article, but have not yet joined the others who have written.

Frankly the article is a suspiciously timed summary of several other articles that have appeared this quarter. There is exactly zero new information and the quotes she attributed to the two analysts have both been published before. I feel she misrepresented what they had to say for reasons known only to her.

The quote about Onsale being desperate was utterly rediculous. The original article it came from talked of ALL sellers of PCs and PC related equipment and what the recent price wars have done to EVERYONE's margins. It went on to state, and she chose not to include,
that Onsale has done a better job than most during this time and stood in a better position than most to capitaize from what are expected to be better margins on similar items in the coming year.

I shall try to find a link to the original article(s) and post them. If anyone else remembers this and/or has this info, please share it.
I am considering writing the editor and requesting a retraction.

Regards,
Duff
