CompUSA/Apple good news

from reader Tom Brown, "I thought you and your readers would like to know that the local CompUSA store in Dearborn, MI has gone all out to sell Macs! I've now gone twice since Sunday. They are still giving away free T-shirts plus having drawings for gifts every hour. The salespeople are knowledgeable and I was overjoyed seeing many people buying Macs - Until Sunday, I haven't seen a person buying a Mac in more than a year - and I go at least twice per month! With this kind of activity, I believe they will even have to expand the Mac section - only two salespeople - they could have used 4."

Last weekend Shawn King, MacTalk host, tripped from British Columbia to Seattle to visit two CompUSA's during the Grand Opening Celebration of the Apple Stores. His report is here.
