Dell Testing Sale Of Computers In Sears
Oh, here we go again! Dell is placing "a store within a store" at 10 Sears as a tests. The product will be there to test drive, but the customer will have to place an order on site or go home and order via the internet. Does anybody think Sears can really sell computers? Reportedly Best Buy and others turned them down. More info:

<strong>The problem is you can't take them home. People go to Sears with their SUV's and expect to take most items home with them. </strong><hr></blockquote>
That's exactly why I doubt it'll last long.
Sears & Roebuck was *THE* mega-mall retailer before there were mega-malls... but now? They dropped the ball, and went nearly 100% brick-and-mortar, and then missed the online bandwagon badly. Sad, really, S&R was the only link to many goods that folks in remote rural areas had, for many decades.
