Interesting Don, While I was not a great
customer of Best Buy, I imagined them to be a
solid operation. Circuit City has clsoed stores
in this area. I need a new laptop and while
there are all kinds of offers from the
retailers, I question if I should pay more at
a local house. The problem is that they offer
an Acer that I want to avoid. I had an Acer
scanner, highly recommended, and it was too
complex to use. I am also reluctant to change from XP to Vista.
Best Buy is still very much in business, but has
had to lay off a lot of folks and is considering
closing stores. eBay has recently laid off a
chunk of people. Circuit City is in bankruptcy
and has closed about 10% or more of their
stores: these stores are conducting fire-sales
which make visiting them VERY attractive.
