<<Well, yes. I think they've reached the point where they're trying to sell computers to people who don't have electricity and can't read. >> Funny you should say that. But it is very true. Speaking with store managers of Best Buy and CompUSA over the past 4 months they tell me they are getting many customers who have no idea why they want a computer, they just do. They heard about this internet thing. So MANY returns for computers that are NOT defective but are returned by people because they cant find a "program" on their computer. Wait till they cant log onto the internet because of a bizy signal I dont know if thats a good thing or not. Are we saturated? or will everyone GET one
