Re: Bye, Bye COMPUSA
I agree that I *should* miss them. I purchased my last two home PCs from them.
But, in reality, I haven't set foot in their local store here in at least two years.
I've been purchasing most of my peripherals and supplies either from the local Wal-Mart Superstore and/or Best Buy. (I can walk in to Wal-Mart and purchase bread, milk, DVDs, *and* a color cartridge for my home ink jet printer.) And the next PC that I purchase will probably be ordered on-line so I can have it configured exactly the way I want it.
CompUSA was great back when PC's had to be opened and configured whenever a new expansion device and/or peripheral was purchased. But these days almost all peripherals can simply be plugged-in to a USB port. And most "consumers-on-the-street" are now purchasing laptops as opposed to PCs. And you don't open up laptops. And do consumers really need training to run a PC anymore? Everybody knows how to run a browser and/or a word processor at this point.
The concept of a an all Computer Superstore B&M shop has unfortunately run its course.
