Stephen, The Radio Shack deal is great news but don't assume by any means that each store sells 10 units per week. First of all of the 7000 stores posted, about 4500 are company operated . The rest are franchises. Based on the fact I worked for 10 years in operations management , I can safely say they will sell the heck out of the sub 1000 units...... and from what I read , they will be a channel partner for the build to order systems. This is a plus also.......It would be interesting to see what cost and margins Radio Shack will be buying and selling at. I do know the stores were not happy selling IBM and could not get the price point to meet the market demands. With Compaq this should happen. Overall this is great news for both companies. Long and strong...... Regards, Tom
