Skeets, well, first of all, I was computing with one number and writing another. It was 30% more stores, not 37%. So, it is about 20% to the good. Then you subtract the 15% ASP drop, and I think that is too low, and you get .85*1.20=1.02, a mighty rise of 2% in laptop revenues. Of course, some of this is apples and oranges and the two stores are different. But the fact is, Comp City did sell boxes last year and they are not all new sales just because CompUSA bought them. As they would have you believe in their touty material. <g>
