>>So you don't think Aol is in the E-Commerce business? Could be splitting hairs, but not strictly speaking. The lines are getting blurred more every day, but web e-commerce sites are web-only commerce-only sites. Honestly, I don't see why Blue Mountain is there either, but it leads Amazon traffic in every commentary I've read. As far as I can tell from my few visits, Blue Mountain doesn't charge. >>Have you checked out the price's of the Japanese clones. 30-40% cheaper and getting cheaper. Yes I saw some clone offers, but be careful. Dell's come with stable power supplies, Intel motherboards, IBM DeskStar drives (with some impressive Dell-written disc-caching software), and Dell support. Before this I always built my machines myself, but I turned to Dell because they can now build the machine I would at a cheaper price.
