How about competing by providing a better service or a service that no one
else provides ? What's wrong with selling a slightly different product
than Dell if I can convince my customers that my product is as good as or
better while saving them some loot ?
This brings up a question here. Do the name brand people (especially the top
dog, Dell) have brick and mortar repair shops in large cities?
You said, "providing a better service"
I know of no Dell service center within 100 miles of Albany, GA. Or Compaq,
or Gateway or eMachine etc. My main point is that if Dell wanted them fixed
they would have brick and mortar service centers everywhere they sell their
wares. Sure they have in-home service plans etc. within warranty etc. On
some plans they ship a motherboard or other component to the customer. My
point is the absence of local brick and mortar service centers screams
loudly, "If it is out of warranty, replace it!"
You just made my point for the Albany, GA area. You said, "providing a
better service"
Google it. Yellow pages it. Do it anyway you like. If you find a brick and
mortar shop for Dell in Albany, GA ------
