Given the investment that BBY has in over 700 US stores, Canadian stores, fixtures, inventory, warehouses, delivery trucks, the $160-million HQ building, and a breath-taking investment in BestBuy.com, this is a pretty low return on investment. It hardly seems worthwhile to do that much work and borrow that much money to only make such a relatively small profit. -john- -- ====================================================================== John A.
