Had Sears jumped into online sales early they could be sitting where Amazon is now.

Didn’t Sears start up the Prodigy online service? That was my introduction to the Internet back in the early 1990s. It was quite a clunky interface even for that time but they were among the first few along with CompuServe and AOL.

Another squandered opportunity.

Sears catalog was in every outhouse until they switched from newsprint to slick paper

“Had Sears jumped into online sales early they could be sitting where Amazon is now.”

sears is so technologically backwards, I don’t think they’ve even upgraded their point-of-sales systems since the ‘90s.
