I firmly believe the wave of the future is buying over the internet. Retail stores and malls may just be a dying breed. Well, what will the kids do? LOL Regards D.

I agree with you Gemini. OK, country stores look good now and only cost 600K. Nonetheless I don't think that's the way to go long term. Also, Dell doesn't do well with retail storefronts or non-direct channels. Does anyone remember that Dell tried a non-direct channel in 1992 or so? I didn't get the details - whether it was selling though Compusa or their own stores or what - but it was a complete disaster. I think country stores can be a diversion for the main business personally. JMO Michelle
