CompUSA Crashes! - Click!
If there is anything true it is that nothing complementary is truely free or as good as they say. Today, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch posted on the front page of the business section that all three St. Louis Area CompUSA stores are shutting down. Nationwide, 50% of all their stores are closing their doors."Yeah, so why not go to Circuit City or Best Buy?" Because firedog and geek squad are posers! On top of that, a trip to Circuit City this afternoon offered none of the products that I need to continuing to build my own computer. What's the point of selling CPU cooling fans if you don't have any CPUs to sell?
It also doesn't help that places like Circuit City and Best Buy put their computer department next to the car audio or home theatre section where the base is turned up and making items sensitive to shock vibrate.
I have come to realize that geeks in this country are being forced into exile. Money makers see the computer nerd as a niche group sort of like they associate goths with Hot Topic or women to the Lifetime TV network. Unless you are part of the herd, they seek to exterminate strays and individual thought.
I will not stand for it! I've worked too hard to save up to build my own machine just so that one of the few resources that can actually help me can die.
This is a sad day.
