Nicholas,

Do we know for sure that all of these stores will carry PC Guru?

I found 11 copies in a CompUSA, but none in Best Buy. The manager at Best Buy had never heard of it and didn't know if they would ever carry it.

Has anyone seen a copy in Best Buy?

Like the rest of us, I am waiting patiently for the stock to move, wishing I could buy more at these fire sale prices (instead of the higher priced shares I bought over the past 9 months. The product looks great and should have a big market, but it needs to be pushed and I don't see Best Buy or CompUSA doing that yet.

What about the special displays that we heard about? Is that still coming? If so, I suspect that it will help a lot.

Best wishes to us all,

HB
