Super Dell is No More!

For those of you who don't know, Dell Schanze was the owner of Totally Awesome Computers located in Utah. He grew his computer retail business largely through BUZZ marketing and good computers. He was known for his, "over-the-top personal style and t.v. commercials."(-kutv.com) Whether they liked his style or not, he definitely made a name for himself in Utah area. People not only talked about him but they bought his computers. But now he is no more! He was entangled with legal issues relating to driving too fast, a gun, and a whole lot of attitude. You can hear more about his downfall by clicking on the video link below.
