Gaz got me thinking...
I could not believe my eyes Sunday morning when looking in the paper and
saw (I think) Circuit City selling the Rio for $99 (!!)
Are they trying to copy Gillette in marketing this, where Diamond takes a
loss on the equipment --but makes up for it selling flash cards (or
something equivalent) for it? This *really* is not good for MD if Diamond
is going to try and use what basically is predatory pricing against Sony.
