John, Wal-Mart did select AMGV as their exclusive BTO for the Wal-Mart Online Division. dljdirect.com Quotes from AMGV 10-QSB for 3 months ended June 1997. "ACI has reduced its sales with Wal-Mart retail stores since it was issued a second vendor number from Wal-Mart Online. The Company plans to emphasize selling its product through Wal-Mart's World Wide Web Page and de-emphasize its sales in Wal-Mart retail stores." "The Company presently offers seven preconfigured computer systems on Wal-Mart's web page and expects to have a build your own desktop and laptop computer online in October 1997. The build your own computer has been very successful with Dell Computers and Gateway 2000. The Company expects that by partnering with Wal-Mart it will capture a percentage of Dell's and Gateway's market share." Have a good one. JFO

AMGV: That's the way it's going to be, and soon, according to the links I posted. Below are a couple of quotes from the links. "Started By: JFO Date: Apr 2 1998 1:20AM ET ACI Micro Systems (AMGV) were selected by Wal-mart as their exclusive online BTO vendor. See link to news release: amgv.com See links to Wal-Mart online and AMGV's products: wmonline.wal-mart.com. wmonline.wal-mart.com. Continually one of the top 5 hit sections with Wal-Mart online is the computer section of which AMGV is posted." Also of interest: "IBM approached AMGV and introduced them to their new microprocessor IBM6x86MX Microprocessor. They now use it in one of their systems and as a result of this IBM has given AMGV space on their web site with a direct link to their products.
