| Competition |
| The online commerce market is new, rapidly evolving and intensely competitive. Current and new competitors can launch new sites at a relatively low cost. In addition, the computer products retail industry is intensely competitive. The Company currently or potentially competes with a variety of other companies. These competitors include (i) various traditional computer retailers including CompUSA and MicroCenter, (ii) various mail-order retailers including CDW, MicroWarehouse, Insight, PC Connection and Creative Computers, (iii) various Internet-focused computer retailers including Egghead.com, software.net Corporation and NECX Direct, (iv) various manufacturers that sell directly over the Internet including Dell, Gateway, Apple and many software companies, (v) a number of online service providers including America Online and the Microsoft Network that offer computer products directly or in partnership with other retailers, (vi) some non-computer retailers such as Wal-Mart that sell a limited selection of computer products in their stores and (vii) computer products distributors which may develop direct channels to the consumer market. Increased competition from these and other sources could require the Company to respond to competitive pressures by establishing pricing, marketing and other programs or seeking out additional strategic alliances or acquisitions, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. |
