They cheat their customers as well as their employees.They need to get out of the computer business and go back to what brought them to the dance, supplies and copy and print."

"Get your people on your side because they are not. Stop selling computers that you lose money on and focus on higher margin merchandise like supplies and peripherals.

Your sales will drop for a while, but your profit to sales ratio will be the highest in the industry, and that's what investors want to see."
