    Well, sort of.

    Saw in the SuperValue in Deansgrange that they are selling the Inspiron 1300 for 599. Was more than a bit surprised.

    Dell have a huge reseller network, what they mean is that generally you can't walk into a retail store and buy one. The SuperValu thing doesn't sound right, tbh, although Tesco in the UK take orders in some stores. Were they pick-up-and-go?

    Dell's also trialling mall carts in the US so people can see the systems before they buy.

    There was talk early last year that they would start opening outlets a la Gateway a few years ago. Guess they saw what happened to them!
