SPLS already is selling from a Web site. In the few places they would want a store, where CPU has one, it would be cheaper to lease one, build one, or wait until CPU closes up shop-if they ever do. Buying them, especially at the ridiculous prices I have heard on Yahoo,would be a poor way to get store fronts-IMO. Hardware sales are very low margin products and getting lower every day. I just don't see this proposed "deal" being something good for SPLS.
