A gigabuys story that should scare you...

I bought a new laptop from DELL two weeks ago. Got online to try to order a nylon notebook case from gigabuys and had a lot of trouble. First, the site wouldn't let me order it, saying they were out of stock and would not accept order. A day later, I logged on and tried to order it, and it gave me an expected ship date of May 5th!?! That's a long time to wait, don't you think? So I just called DELL and ordered it and DELL told me it could be 2-3 weeks before they ship my case out to me... either DELL is really busy or their model is cracking... I, a faithful DELL customer, was disheartened. Imagine how a first time user would feel? They wouldn't go back to gigabuys, and neither will I...

>I'm actually considering buying more DELL on margin.

I did that today, bought 25% more shares @ $36, "averaging UP".
I've got other non-tech stocks to sell (at profit) to cover the
purchase, but they may go up more, so margin for now...
