PRODUCT RETAIL STORES
i think that it was a poor move on the part of Gateway to close all of their retail/showroom stores. they were a great place to get on hands looks at all of their products. i personally have purchased 5 gateway pc's, all but one at store locations(syracuse, ny, & orlano, fl.). i have also been directly responsible for the purchase of three others(sister and daughter).

i do notice that dell and apple have increased their visibility and apparently their sales due to dedicated company to consumer relations, as opposed to them being piled into the often confusing array of products at the "big box" stores such as BEST BUY, SAMS, CIRCUIT CITY, AND COMP USA.
it would seem to be a good move to bring back at least some of these venues.

thanks for your time,
ED O'REILLY
