Wow, you really need to get out more often.

CompUSA died a slow lingering death of stupidity and went out of business on Pearl Harbor Day, 2007. That’s the day they were bought by Specialty Equity, an affiliate of Gordon Brothers Group (the people who liquidated them).

Unfortunately, there are now 21 “All-New CompUSA®” stores open (with seven more to come). However, they seem to be an impending failure, so this brand hopefully will be gone soon. They’re being managed by the same group of idiots as before - TigerDirect (the new owners) hired a lot of CU idiots over the years.

I do hope you weren’t a loyal CompUSeless shopper. If you were, as a former employee, I can tell you you were being taken if you shopped there any time between 1995 and the day they closed.

I hardly ever went there. It's close to my parents’, so I figured I'd swing by one day.

HA! I guess I do need to pay more attention!

Hey now!

I bought a generic ergo keyboard with inegrated touchpad mouse there circa 1995-7 and still love that thing.

But that was about it

The keen competition in Sillycon Valley helped keep CompUSA honest. But ultimately they couldn't keep up.
