I thought this looser company went out of business already- oh well, all good things in their own time i guess.

Looks like Apple is the best thing going for this poor-ass retail chain, I sure they don't end up dragging Apple down when they go over the edge.

On a brighter note, I noticed the store closures which I hope was accompanied buy a lot of lay-offs for the highschool dropout idiots in this company. Thats just what happens when the sales team is untrained- the managers don't give a damn about the products or the customers- & the investors can't read the writing on the wall.

I hope CPU is stuck in Iomega-land, stuck at this price for years to come.

On the other hand, if they get bought out & everybody is fired- then this store could soar, maybe i'll try & buy some at $ 4.00 if i get the chanch.

This is from the Reuters story:

The company said in a statement that it and Ingram had signed a letter of intent under which Ingram would become its main distributor to business, government and education clients.
