Et Tu, CompUSA?POSTED FEB 18, 2008

Just as I was about to lament the closing of CompUSA (the store in Fort Myers will be among the last to close - the only decent computer store in the area), I found out that the company got bought out and our store will reopen next month. So, I still get to but stuff megacheap at their liquidation and the store won't even go away. I was wondering how a computer store could go bankrupt in this day of age.

Mind you, this isn't doing my credit card any favors. So far, I've picked up a wireless card for my laptop (old enough to have had built-in as an 'option') and a HDTV tuner for the EG1000. DVD burners ran out too fast and I doubt I'll get a monitor cheap enough... but I'm eyeing a wireless keyboard for the new EG500 (another foot-in-the-grave desktop I just set up for multimedia in the living room).
