<Here's a quick look through this week's Fry's ad. Most of these prices can be beat on the Internet. Shipping is usually cheaper than sales tax. And, of course, wholesale prices would be even lower yet.> We have no sales tax in Oregon. Maybe the local Fry's here is ripping us off, which wouldn't be a surprise to me. Still, if E-Machines can build reliable computers for the prices they are charging, then all the better. Like I said before, if they standardize on Intel's new Whitney chipset, I'd feel a lot better about their quality, and their business outlook will seem rosy. Well, at least until the next E-Machines wannabe also standardizes on Whitney, then pushes his own advantages, like ... uh ... free Starbucks for a month with every purchase of a PC? Tenchusatsu
