Tip, I loved the ASP down 20% comment. But, they are only the largest computer retailer in the world, so what would they know? <G> It looks to me like even the "hot" consumer box sales were slightly negative while the business side was totally dead meat.

BTW, if I were a CompUSA shareholder, I might ask why the heck they paid the price they did for the Computer City stores if they were going to be this much of a drag on profits? Wait a second, I know the answer. Dataquest and IDC told them in 1997 that pc revenues would be up 17% in 1998. That's the glitch. <G>
