    I'm surprised CompUSA held on this long. It was going under about 10 years ago.

    So Slim done left town, huh?

    RIP. I remember shopping at its original store (Soft Warehouse in Dallas) in the mid-80s.

    Thanks to an awesome store-closing sale deal, I loaded up on DVD-Rs there before my local CompUSA closed its doors.

    I'm sure agreeing to be the title sponsor for the Citrus Bowl was the beginning of the end.

    Far better for buying gadgets and add-ons than Circuit City and Best Buy...

    Been away from the boards for last few days. Had to weigh in on this because my mom called and told me that my cousin will be looking for a new gig. He was an assistant manager at the local CompUSA. Not good with Xmas coming around, but business is business.
