I'm not terribly suprised. They are one of the worst places
for making good marketing decisions. Hell look at when they stopped
carrying Macintosh. All that happened there, was that CompUSA started
doing more sales. If they are smart, (which I don't think they are)
they'll keep MD around, and actually try promoting it. A kiosk on an
endcap isn't much of a promo. Especially when half the guys working
there wouldn't know an MD if it came up and bit them on their nose.
