LoD: I believe that Michael and his team have BIG plans for gigabuys.com. Check out this passage from the DELL press release: <<Dell also announced it will offer customized versions of the superstore content to its corporate customers through Premier Pages. By summer, gigabuys.com will offer more features, product categories and titles, and Dell plans to deploy the site internationally later this year. >> I feel that DELL is in THE BEST position to be a big, efficient e-tailer that provides outstanding service. They also are not buying capabilities like some of their competitors (such as CPQ and GTW) that are desperate for an online presence. DELL is a master when it comes to logistics, marketing and service. They also have the STRONGEST brand and online platform to successfully offer a broad range of PC, high tech, and electronic products. Stay LONG on DELL and you will be pleasantly surprised by the new gigabuys.com initiative <ggg>..!!! Regards, Scott

FWIW, I looked at the Gigabuys site for software. First of all, I thought the tax software was difficult to find. Finally I looked up software by vendor ("Intuit"). The Turbotax state at Gigabuys was $31. which is about $3. more than I paid for it 2 weeks ago from Amazon, and that was the retail price (Amazon doesn't discount software). So, Intuit raised their prices, well maybe, but also Gigabuys doesn't appear to be a discount site. The layout isn't really bad - but its not great either. Amazon imo is a great site. Gigabuys is more like Egghead, where you feel a little like you are looking through a keyhole. Michelle
