What do you expect from restocking fees, 'rebates' that don't, and
expensive little components or cables that are 20 to 100 times more than
any other source charges?

The end for CompUSA is a lesson in marketing.  Either adopt the new
technology, or die!

No GNU/Linux or BSD retail box sets offered in at least four years, and
everything else was over priced!

I wager that if there any intelligent life forms at BestBuy, Office
Depot, Office Max, Staples, Circuit City, it is observing and changing
to be more consumer friendly.

Consumers have been seen as the enemy, by Microsoft, and as a cash cow
by greedy corporate moguls, and this failure of CompUSA is simply
another warning to the rest!
