Valid concerns , hopefully AAPL's sales squad visits Sears before CompUSA >> " I thimk Sears can sell; I just doubt Sears will do a better job selling Macs than anyone else has. There's no reason to believe that Sears' salespeople will pay any more attention to the iMac than they did to the Performa. " << Performa mess , that's a worry but this venture is a second time around for AAPL and Sears , who both have "recovery minded" executives . With all due respect for your prudent purchase of a iMAC , it appears to be a high profit item , and as you state easy to sell . I'd guess the "easy" and "high profit" features got Sears attention who also plans to sell (USB ?) printers and software . AAPL's plan to send sales trainers to CompUSA was in the Sears announcement and suggests it will be available to Sears . Yeah Bob Villa could sell them without sales training but maybe he is helped by that hammer in his tool belt . Your thought to sample selling iMACs at Sears is terrific . Jim K.
