What is gained through an internet biz???

I'm considering buying CPU but my thoughts are wouldn't internet sales cut into their own store sales??
Why go to a CompUSA store when you can point and click??? This is a similar problem Barnes & Noble faces competing against Amazon online... they end up cannabilizing themselves and their in-store market share via internet sales.

I'm seriously considering a position.

Does anyone have any thoughts on these issues? Thanks.
