Word on the street is that CompUSA is closing over half their stores, starting tomorrow. I went over to their locations page: if it’s accurate, the only store staying in WA is the one in Spokane.

The only surprising thing to me is that it took this long. Most computer stores have a half life of five years… it’s pricy to keep all that stock in stock. It’s what killed CompuAdd. And Gateway. And whoever else was in the field, it seems. For CompUSA to hang on for over 15 years?

Impressive, in a way but even so: rest in pieces.
