The whole point of going to a RETAIL store is that I can buy the damn product right then and there. Dell and Gateway just don’t get it.

From what I understand the Dell store still does pretty well. Although I don’t like having to wait for the product to arrive, the direct model (not having inevtory) is much more profitable.

It sounds like Dell's just doing much of the same. Stores that sell computers online don't make any real money, because no a day people are all about instant gratification, and they can get that at Circuit City, Best Buy, and even Apple. -Brian Gateway Country tried the exact same business model, and failed.

My kids and I spent a lot of time (and I spent some money) at the Apple Store, which was packed to the gills. The Dell store was empty except for a salesperson and one guy looking at a really big display. I was right by that store at NorthPark.
