　　Last week, for example, we announced a new program called Compaq Built for You in partnership with leading retail chains like CompUSA Office Depot and Computer City. This program allows customers to self-configure a selected group of Compaq PCs in the store. Once the customer has configured the system he wants, the he pays the retailer. All orders are then custom manufactured by Compaq and shipped either directly to the customer or to the retailer. It's your choice.

　　例如，就在上星期，我们与包括Comp USA、Office Depot、Computer City在内的一些主要零售连锁店联合推出了一个称为“Compaq Built for You”的新活动，该活动允许客户在商场内对选定的康柏电脑自行配置。客户可以在配置完电脑之后，再付款给商场。所有的定单均由康柏定制生产，然后直接运给客户，或者发送给分销商。这完全取决于您的选择。

　　As of today, Compaq Built For You is available in about 100 stores. By the end of August, we will be up in 2,000 stores. And by Christmas we will be configuring customers' computers in 4,000 stores across the country.

　　到今天为止，“Compaq Built For You”活动已在大约100个商场中全面展开。到八月底，将有2,000个商场加入该活动。到圣诞节，客户将可以在全国4,000多家商场中配置自己的计算机。
