This report says 0.
"PC's are up." Which PC's? The lowest end? The lowest margin? Can only increase 'gsa' costs over time.
"Computer City stores are up." Big deal. Why else did they waste a ton of money on a looser that would have gone Chapter 7 anyway.
CPU needs to revamp its compensation structure and move inventory out the door faster. They also don't need to remain open on Sat until 9pm. And their Internet site looks like sh*t. They remind me of the corporate mentality taking control over the designers at GM.
