Don't know how many stores, I think they are just starting to roll them out. The question is how many are they planning over the next year...I don't know. Someone suggested, however, that you cannot purchase from the store, only order. Sort of like the J.C. Penney catalog stores, don't know if this is fact, however.

The winter issue of Gateway Magazine listed 22 stores of which only 12 were open at press time. However the list was inaccurate since it did not include their store in Orange/Milford Ct. which was the second store they opened. I know at least one of the stores was was lsited as not yet open(West Hartford, Ct.) has opened. As far as I know yoiu can only test and play with different systems at the stores although I vaguely remeber reading something that they may sell computers at the stores eventually but for now you can only order a computer from the store. I remember seeing other items such as software at the Milford store and I believe you can purchase these items at the store. I have also been told that they have training classes in some of the larger stores.
