Great IT quote

"Just the word investment I think is important," she says. "We're taking a dollar of shareholder money and putting it into technology versus investing in a new store, so we should expect to get a return at least as good as any other investment in the company."

Eileen Gabriel, CIO of Dick's Sporting Goods.
