My gf swears Sears used to sell Apple Performas, tell me shes wrong! It's true Joe. At the time there was much talk about how much more damage it was doing to Apple then good. The displays and sales personell were absolutely the worst anywhere. Jon Bird

Sears did indeed sell Apple Performas. I got one for my kid about 6 years ago. If memory serves me it was a Performa 550. jon

HP compliments AAPL's USB in HP's new product roll out announcement On Sears selling Performas , in their past Sears never actually sold anything . Upon getting the comatose sales clerks attention they demanded: "what do you want ?" If it was on the shelf you got it - working or not . Sears fell from grace , but a new Gen Mgr had IBM automate a sized down operation and they are "back" like AAPL . Sears will work well for AAPL this time . Unusual comment from a UNIX HP Mgr: ---- " Apple has had USB around for sometime, and it has been kicked around as the latest and greatest standard. I expect more people to move to it over time," said Susan Canney, HP's Unix hardware product-line manager. " techweb.com AAPL praise from a HP UNIX Mgr who is aiming a new product line at SGI who likes AAPL also . Kind of like seeing Big Foot twice on the same day . Jim K.
