stock bull Hi!...Ref. GTW Country Stores.....

Your understanding of how the GTW Country Stores work is accurate.

We have one of those stores about 3 miles from where I live and the
parking lot is full especially on weekends.

A friend of mine went this GTW route. He visited the store and
looked at what they had to offer. Decided on a model and the order
went in direct to GTW. In 5 days he had his Computer.

I for one hope that PC Analyst with Goldman Sach's was correct when
he said that DELL might likely go this route also.

Maybe we could call it "DELL-INDIRECT".....J.D.

Stock bull: speaking of Sub-$1000 PCs,I heard 'my-bro' Dan Niles is predicting that Dell will introduce their version 'sub-zero/cheapie' during the Analysts meeting in April.Remember you heard it first,ok.

May be he knows something since he nailed the numbers in Q4 is what I am thinking.

I don't know about the country store thing though,that is a an awful lot of capital expenditure to sell some cheap crap Pcs,half a million to a million bucks a store is what I am hearing,perhaps they can spend the money elsewhere,like buying back some shares for example with the money. Anyway I don't know, just some blather from my side.
