One of the factors blamed for Tower's demise was the competition from 
online retailers (and downloaders). Tower was late in getting its online 
presence going in any strong way. When they did, the Tower web-store 
significantly undercut Tower's in-store prices.

Not a great business model, if you ask this retailer...
